A lot of times people will do a Google search and find an older article than the incident or report of the incident that they are trying to find. For example, let's say they saw an accident at Higgins and Arlington Heights Road 'today' and they wanted to know what happened. There's a chance that Google will not have indexed today's story yet ... and your search results will show an older incident at the same intersection. Check 'Recent Articles' in the left column of most pages. The story might be covered there and you will see the latest Cardinal report. It will probably show up in Google in the near future, but meanwhile, you can find it in the 'Recent Articles' section.

You can also try the SEARCH BOX in the TOP RIGHT COLUMN of most pages. That is a local search just for this website. If you type in 'Higgins,' it would find all the articles that contain the word 'Higgins'  ...  no delay ... no waiting for indexing.
