'Find sources' params

Note: No example of search results for an actual current event would stay current for very long, so it's impossible to show what results would look like, especially from newspapers, for a search about an actual current event. These tests are merely illustrative of the syntax and the general form of the message, but the search results are not typical of what they would be for an actual breaking news event.
