Is there a way I can search for a phrase (like we do in google Ngram) in a few select newspapers? I want to only get results from say The Guardian, NY Times, Globe and Mail, Forbes, The Wall Street Journal, etc.
Simply searching in google news provides results from other news sources. And I only want to see results from the ones I want.

Google is a good way to search for an SE post.
Anyway, a good trick is excluding results with certain phrases or that come from certain sources. Just write -"indiatimes.com" or whatever.
I use quotes by default but maybe in the above case I didn't need them. But if there are multiple words you do need them.

@M.A.R. Nacht's a feminine noun, while Abend and Tag are masculine. The non-ellipted form is Ich wuensche dir einen guten Tag, so we're talking about an accusative.

Q: Why is 'Guten Tag' accusative?

StrixVariaIs it just an idiom, or is it a general rule? I'm wishing a good day to someone, so I guess there is some kind of metaphorical motion involved. Would it be similar if I wanted to say "vielen Spaß"?
