How do I adjust this Google News script - using variables, I would assume - to place the current year and current month in the boolean search - specifically, the line that starts with "tabbed.execute(... ?"
My end goal is to have this script return the search terms in context of the current year and month. Thanks for helping a newbie!
google.load('search', '1');
function OnLoad() {
// create a tabbed mode search control
var tabbed = new google.search.SearchControl();
// create our searchers. There will now be 4 tabs.
tabbed.addSearcher(new google.search.VideoSearch());
tabbed.addSearcher(new google.search.NewsSearch());
tabbed.addSearcher(new google.search.BlogSearch());
tabbed.addSearcher(new google.search.ImageSearch());
// draw in tabbed layout mode
var drawOptions = new google.search.DrawOptions();
drawOptions.setDrawMode(google.search.SearchControl.DRAW_MODE_TABBED);
// Draw the tabbed view in the content div
tabbed.draw(document.getElementById("stephennews"), drawOptions);
// Search!
tabbed.execute("'SEARCHTERM1' AND 'SEARCHTERM2' AND '2013' AND 'MARCH'");
}
google.setOnLoadCallback(OnLoad);
I think found my answer. I won't need to insert another variable with a current date forumula. I could probably let Google do all the work for me with boolean:
The past x number of months is notated as "m[INSERT NUMBER]" Likewise, The past x number of days is notated as "d[INSERT NUMBER]"
So the search line in my script would read:
tabbed.execute("'SEARCHTERM1' AND 'SEARCHTERM2' AND 'y[1]' AND 'm[1]'");
