Seriously, how hard is it to: 1) type "Oslo" in the search text box, 2) press the "Google search" button, 3) click on the "News" link to the left? It's, to use a tired old phrase, as easy as 1-2-3. I find it rather tasteless to grab things like Oslo bombing and turn them into linkbait articles.
- zem 15y agoit's not obvious that there is news worth clicking for. ideally, you want google to say "this guy's interested in oslo? i bet he'd really like to know that something of note just happened over there". people who were searching for the news directly would have typed in "oslo bomb".
- commandar 15y ago> people who were searching for the news directly would have typed in "oslo bomb". Actually, the author of the article knew that something had happened in Oslo, but not what. That's exactly the kind of situation where news search is useful. He wants information on current events; news search is where I would expect to find that.
