Finding News for a specific day?

[ConservativeMan55]

Does anyone know of any search engines I could use if I wanted to look up news that happened on a certain day.

Lets say I wanted to go back and read the headlines for October 11th. Where would I be able to search for this.

I tried looking at google and yahoo's Web site but found nothing. Any help would be appreciated.

There should be somewhere on the web that filters by date.

Try Google Advanced

Ahhhh. I see now where you can search for articles published between specific dates.

FreeRepublic would be a dandy site for something like that. I had asked JimRob some time ago (around the 9-11 anniversary) to check into adding a search box which would allow us to search for all the articles (posts) on a given day or period of days.

Jim,
Any thoughts or progress on that? Is it potentially a go or a no go? We need it. I'm not an HTML expert by a long shot, but it seems to me it wouldn't be too hard for a real expert to add it to the list of options on the current search block at the top of the "latest posts" page. Thanks.

A tedious way to do this is to first click on the "show more threads" at the bottom of the page, and then, when the URL shows a URL with an article number, type in a guess for when your target date is, and refine the guess and until you find the article posted at 12:01 AM the day after your target. Then, clicking on "show more threads" takes you back through that day, showing all (non-pulled) articles.

Jim, it would be nice to be able to go forward as well as back, 50 or 100 threads at a time.

Thanks for adding that Colordan. I used that technique back around the Anniversary of 9-11 to find the first posting about the WTC crashes. That was what prompted me to ask JimRob for an option on the search plate. Hopefully we've started something here.

As a matter of fact, finding the first post on 9-11 about the attack, and about the Pentagon, were exactly what I was doing too ...

One thing that I've found that I can use is Rush Limbaugh's archived website. His stack of stuff keeps headlines of each day.
