When you turn to the standard Google search page, you are faced with the already famous simple format, on top of which you can see several links. Those links are meant to direct the user to a specialized part of the Google search engine. Among them, you can also find "News", which will forward you to a Google page featuring all the latest news from all major categories.

If you are looking to find news on a specific subject, you can do so through the Google News Page. If the topic is of recent importance, the news search results can also be found in the standard search results page. Registered Google users have the possibility of personalizing the Google news web page, thus being offered a means by which they can receive the information in a more familiar way.

One of the most significant features of the Google News service is that it tries to provide users with the requested information in a simple form factor. Whenever you search for news, the search results are grouped together, offering information on the same subject from various sources. These groups are called clusters and, until yesterday, the news that formed them remained in the same group for only three days. As of yesterday, the story clusters will be kept in this form for as long as the news stays in Google's index. Ultimately, this means that you will be able to see cluster news for a total of 30 days, the maximum period for which the items of news are indexed by Google.

Turning to the specialized Google News search engine page offers the users the possibility of viewing the latest news, which might be of interest for them. They can also see the way an item of news evolves within a month's time and consequently choose to read what they fit appropriate.
