It does now have the capacity to scan current data, based on an inquiry, as I have done with this and several other threads I've posted. Even had it scan recent posts & replies on FR to get the overall climate of sentiment on several issues based solely on posts and replies. Very fascinating stuff. For example:

Not a perfect return, but a summation. It clearly didn't stick to the last 24 hours, as the Denver article was back in May, but it did find it and include it. So the potential for data collection is strong, really. And, it also has to do with how the question is posed.
The same information could have been found from many engines.
