Additional Search Options on AltaVista News

I've been using AltaVista's news search quite a bit -- http://news.altavista.com/ -- but I don't think I've mentioned some additional search options they've got available. I rectify that now.

Now from the main news search page, you can tweak your search in several different ways. You can use a series of pull-down menus to narrow down your search results by topic, region, source, and date range (you can go up to 30 days or specify a custom date range.) You can also use a checkbox toggle to restrict your search results to only those articles with images.

AltaVista seems to also be making a greater effort to include more headlines on its from page. You'll find top headlines from several categories and even a photo or two. Worth a look.
