Vivisimo Clustering

the following links are pre-programmed to search many search engines at once, compare the results and collate them for you. The results also list common clusters for refined searches.

Google News

you can also query Google News for the latest media coverage of your topic. Search Tips - do an advanced search that way you can limit the number of results to what you are really looking for (a news search on 'homeless' often returns 250+ articles in the last 24 hours). Limit your search by country / a combination of words / exclude articles that contain a word eg: homeless + mental + health -cyclone -quake location:australia).
