My Google News feed used to have filters at the top of the screen, including one that let you select only stories that were less than 1 day old, 1 week, 1 month, etc.
Recently that’s disappeared. I tried the page on Firefox, Edge, and Chrome so it’s not a browser issue. But I can’t find anybody else commenting or complaining about such a major change.
Are other people seeing this? And is there a way to get the filters back? They’re incredibly useful at times.
I also miss that feature. I also wish I know what sequence the articles are sorted in. The new stuff is mixed into the old ones in no obvious sequence that I can figure out.
Removing the buttons is pretty annoying, but you can manually add “before:YYYY-MM-DD” or “after:YYYY-MM-DD” to get the equivalent. I just tested and it appears to still work.
Are Google News search options substantially the same as Gmail search options? If so, here is an extensive list of them:
Here is another list of Google search operators, including some specific for Google News.
Thank you!!! Not only does it work, but the hyphens seem to be optional. I entered interestingtopic after:20210425 and got only articles from the last 3 days.
Odd. I tried it and it only worked with the hyphens.
Nevertheless, thanks for the great workaround.
I don’t know if this is new or not, but there is a proper filter feature.
Click on the search box, then on the little arrow ▼ at the right of the search box:
Wow. Hidden in plain sight. Thanks for opening my eyes.
I was confused at first as I use these filters to sort news on Google all of the time. Then it occurred to me that you are probably using news.google.com. I simply search for things on Google, then click on the “news” icon if I want news sources only, followed by clicking on “tools”, which exposes the time filter and sort options.
