Yes Mr. Geerdes, you're right. It is returning no results. If you go to the news.google.com searchbox and typed in, allintitle: "profit and loss" as a search string though, it returns 3 results but in the Google News Bar API, it returns 0 results (therefore it defaults to "Google" as the search query). How can I get around that? And I do not wish to use
executeList : ["allintitle: profit and loss"] because that returns more results and some of them are sometimes pertinent, sometimes not (results show articles with the words "profit" and "loss" somewhere in the article title but not articles that have those two words together as a string all the time). ...Sorry for being confusing and picky :) But I appreciate the help! Siam Luu That's what I was trying to point out. Sorry, my bad, my bad. On Oct 14, 2:37 pm, Jeremy Geerdes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > It sounds like your search returned no results.
