I have often wished for a copy of a long dead news item. Even better would be a service for searching the archives for all items that reference a certain boolean combination of keywords, or even more sophisticated. The service shouldn't be too expensive to run if requests were batched together, so there only needed to be one pass over the archives per day/week/month (depending on volume or requests).
