News alert is a Google service that monitors the web for new content, including news articles, blog posts, and updated scientific research, that match your search terms. When it finds new results, it sends you a notification. You can set up multiple alerts and select the type of content you want to receive, such as blogs, news articles, or web, as well as how often you want to be notified. You can also choose to receive results from a specific region and language.
