News Headlines

When Google finds current news relating to your query, Google includes up to three headlines that link to news stories above your search results. Why at most three? So as not to push the web search results off the page.

Of course, since news by definition reports recent events, you'll see the most recent headlines on the subject of your search.
They will be displayed at the top of the listing, just under the statistics bar, preceeded by a picture of a tiny newspaper  Google news logo.

To see recent news about the United Nations, enter the query [ United Nations ] or for the news on Tiger Woods, enter the query [ Tiger Woods ].

For more news stories or to browse the latest headlines, visit Google News Search at news.google.com, which we'll cover in Part III.
