Google to Offer Deep-Web Searches

[Jeff Prucher]

The timeline feature is also unreliable -- switching from "search articles" to
"show timeline" for the same search reduces the number of hits.  I searched for
"neutronium" which gives 24 results under "search articles" but only 10 hits
with the timeline.
