Greg Notess has noticed that search for images, news and video at Altavista and Alltheweb have identical results. Some Shared Databases at AlltheWeb and AltaVista
Searching the news services for "jack layton" ndp shows this to be true. The differences are in the interface and display. Alltheweb Advanced search lets you select type of news sources and filter by domain. At Altavista there are the easy to use drop-down boxes for topic, region, sources, and time period. But Altavista News appears to have lost its taste for boolean. Boolean operators OR, ANDNOT don't work.
