Searching for articles, and explaining to patrons how to search for articles is much more pleasant with WebFeat. The search is easier for patrons to do and will yield some results even if the patron does not choose any boxes to check--so it requires less expertise on their part. I began exploring this new addition after attending a Reference workshop on this new tool.
Tonite I searched several of the towns where I used to live in while growing up: Perryville, MD; San Jose, CA; Wichita KS; and finally West Palm Beach FL. WPB (I have actually lived in WPB the longest as I Moved here in 1975.) The most interesting article I found using webfeat tonight was an article from UPI Newstrack that tells about a FL Developer, who is suing the cleaner of the former National Enquirer Bldg. for allegedly stealing a photo of Elvis in his coffin. The owner of the photo says it is worth at least $1 million! --Too strange.
