No problem!

I think the issue here is that scholar.google.com is not a site included in Google News (you can see for yourself by going to news.google.com and typing in site:scholar.google.com).

So there would never be any results returned.

Diana,
Thanks for the excellent feedback.

I modified the plugin, and it now supports what you’re asking for.

If you’re using the widget, just wrap everything in quotes in the ‘query’ field. For example, “search term site:scholar.google.com”

If you’re using the shortcodes, you just have to be careful with how you wrap the quotes. For example, if you wanted to search for an exact phrase (let’s say Android sales), and you only wanted results returned from Engadget, you would do this:

[google_news query='”android sales site:engadget.com”‘]

If you run into any problems with this, please let me know.

Thanks!

Kevin

All set! Upgrade to 1.2 a try out the ‘sort’ parameter. Here are the acceptable values:

r (for relevance). This is the default

n by date(newest first)

d by date(newest first with duplicates)

o by date (oldest first)

Sure, I’ll do that. By default, it sorts by relevance. Give me a little bit, and I’ll add a sort parameter.

Good feedback. If you update to version 1.1, it now shows how long ago the articles were published.
