Several Changes in the Works at Altavista
There have some adjustments at Altavista, including the dropping of Moreover as a news source in favor of AV technology.
While I tend to use Google News, AV's news search certainly has its merits: it boasts a vast news archive that dates back to mid-2001 and contains close to 10 million pages. That's very helpful when you're hunting for news beyond Google’s 30-day limit.
Several other changes are underway, according to both Gary Price and Tara Calishain. AV is now using the Open Directory Project as its directory source, and AllTheWeb and AV will apparently begin using an integrated search database in the fall.
