googlenews.results()

if googlenews.results(sort=True) the tool will try to order the results in cronologically reversed order

googlenews.get_texts()

googlenews.get_links()

• Clear result list before doing another search with the same object

googlenews.clear()

Issue

Image is not working in the latest version, it can only return default google loading gif

The date range is not always working as Google may return the result with random order or out of date range.

Google may recognize the program as automated robots and block the IP, using cloud server and fetching data with high frequency will get higher chance to be blocked.
