What specifically is broken? Basic keyword search seems to work.

  keyword search is the very bare minimum for search

    Any search at google is N mapreduce jobs away from a keyword search. In theory, having a really nice search engine for this news would be rather easy for Google (/any Googler with a few weeks of time and access to this data). This is essentially what every new employee at Google has to do in the orientation week.

  The original edition of the Google News Archive included a timeline that helped you narrow down the date range. See this help page from 2008: http://web.archive.org/web/20080905060327/http://news.google.com:80/archivesearch/help.html http://web.archive.org/web/20080905060327/http://news.google... I find the omission in the current engine somewhat frustrating. If you are looking for original references, this timeline was very helpful -- a lot of times, the current search pulls up more modern references that aren't necessarily as useful if you want perspectives from the past. There are ways to search the current archive by date, but they are not terribly intuitive (https://www.thoughtco.com/search-tips-for-google-news-archive-1422213 https://www.thoughtco.com/search-tips-for-google-news-archiv...). (My memory is that the previous search engine gave better results as well, but unfortunately it's difficult for me to prove whether that's correct one way or another.)
