You can filter the news stories that are shown in a news document by news service, category, keyword or range. With a services filter, you can display only news stories that were sent by specific news services. With a category filter, you can display only news stories that have the categories that you select. With a keyword filter, you can search for specific words that appear in the text of a news story. With a range filter, you can define how many headlines will be displayed in the news document, or choose a specific time period for the displayed news headlines.

Note             The filters you set here will also be applied when you perform a quick keyword search by simply typing your search term into the news document. See Quick Keyword Search in News.
