Thanks Mr. Lisbakken and Mr. Foster. I tried your suggestions, and it helped a little bit. It worked for "preferred stock" because and I'm hoping to take the success from preferred stock to the next term where I'm having more trouble. For the next one, the best way to show what happens is if you go to google news and put these in the search boxes:
allintitle: profit and loss or allintitle: "profit and loss" I want the results from the search string allintitle: "profit and loss" to show but using what I learned from the previous methods, I cannot get it to work in the API. That is, I tried this: executeList : ["allintitle: \"profit and loss\""] And my results came out as if I did executeList : ["google"] Thanks very much for the help!
