Example
Add Google News from the Research group in Search steps....
Set Name to something like Track AI regulation coverage.
Enter a topic in Search Query. If the topic should come from an earlier step, click Insert Variable and add that reference.
Choose Number of results, then set Language and Location from the lists or switch either field to Custom Value.
Turn Fallback Search on if you want a backup service when the primary news search fails.
Click Run and review the returned article results in Output before sending them to a later step such as AI Prompt.
