The following is a minimum extract of news Search Engines on the so called "visible" net.
The real stuff, i.e. the "unvisible" and "deep" net ressources, I'll give only on your identification.

If you are still looking for news using "normal" search engines, stop doing it! You'll find the services below to be a much better way to search for the latest news stories from hundreds of sources on the web. These services provide exceptionally good results for current event searching, because they crawl only news sites and revisit these sites several times per day. Thus, the results are usually focused and timely.
Top Choices: General News Searching
AltaVista News
http://news.altavista.com/
Powered by Moreover (see below), this provides access to a wide-range of news information, updated constantly throughout the day. A top choice. Use it rather than Moreover for keyword news searching, as the relevancy is better. However, if you want regular newsfeeds sent to you, then visit the Moreover site. (Updated 12/01)
AllTheWeb.com News
http://www.alltheweb.com/?cat=news
Lets you keyword search against content gathered from news sites across the web and which are revisited constantly, in order to spot new developments. (Updated 12/01)
Yahoo News
http://news.yahoo.com/
Stories from major wire services can be found here, while the "Full Coverage" area has special looks at various news topics, with outstanding resources assembled by the editors of Yahoo. A top news choice. (Updated 12/01)
Daypop
http://www.daypop.com/
Simple and fast, Daypop searches against thousands of news sites, as well as weblogs. The "cached" links for each listing brings up a copy of the page as seen by the Daypop spider. That's handy in case the original page no longer exists or can't be reached. You can limit your search to a variety of date ranges. Well worth a visit. (Updated 12/01)
