Okay, this is wierd. (Google search on al gore)
It must be me, something I am doing wrong. I just can't figure this out...

I have tried googling Al Gore in the Google News section and I am getting:

"Your search - al gore - did not match any documents"

What's up with that? That happened to me yesterdy too, then on about the 5th try, it suddenly worked.

If I click on "Web", I get results, but I only wanted news stories. I don't get it.

Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I google for news on him all the time and I've never had this happen before yesterday.

Their server might have been down for a few seconds; I don't know.

4. I'm filtering their web results for just "news".
I'm still getting the same prompt. The web results work.

8. For Gore news try gorehub.com
As for your google problem I don't know what's up. I do know that when I use my husband's computer for searches I get vastly different results than when I use mine although I use the same search terms. The only excuse I have for our differing results is that I've got a long history of searching the internet while my husband doesn't. I search on a daily basis for things (I'm a researcher) while my husband checks far fewer websites and conducts far fewer searches than I do.

10. I've noticed this recently with Google News; it's not just with Al Gore
I think they're working through a bug or something.
