I am shocked to find after making a google/yahoo search for Mumbai Bomb Blasts or realted search term gives no darn results for todays incidents.. All the mobile networks etc. were turned off in Mumbai, only available medium was Internet to contact people in mumbai for outsiders. More then 150 people died and 350+ injured. Only a handful of Indian news sites (known to people) have the news published a majority of them have no information about this terrorist activity (blasts) and must be searching for information for there loved ones, friends or relatives.
Seniors please post your comments on same, I am sorry for using harsh language above, I have seen dead bodies here.....
Best of luck working thru this to all the innocent people harmed, and condolences to the families of the dead.
but none of the search results are latest. If you check cached copies of page those are atleast 10 days to 1.5 years old.
Having just had an anniversary of last year's tube bombings here in England, I am saddened to hear of another senseless brutal outrage.
Mumbai bombs search on google news shows a page full of articles from as recent a 40 minutes ago.
I don't know what you're seeing, but it's sure not what I'm seeing.

...then you can't reasonably expect to find something at any search engine, when it doesn't exist in the first place. They aren't magical & all-seeing, after all.
As noted, a search engine is the wrong place to turn for breaking news. For better or worse, they don't (or no longer) operate in real-time. Breaking world news is best found at global-oriented news sites; breaking technology news at a tech news site; etc., etc., etc....
FWIW, I first read about this incident at about 15:00 UTC today, at Yahoo...
Even Google can't crawl every website in the world 24/7 in order to index page changes the minute they appear.
Hope you and yours come through this!
