than the reasoning behind them, so that is most of what is below.

&mode=semantic
&from=<now - 7d>Why these parameters
Coverage here splits between company announcements, regulator statements and trade reporting, each using different vocabulary for the same event. Semantic mode is the only way to catch all three from one query.
What comes back
Story clusters spanning the announcement and its pickup.
How this goes wrong
Treating news coverage as a substitute for regulatory sources. Coverage is selective and skews toward large companies and dramatic outcomes; use it for timeliness and the primary sources for completeness.
When this is the wrong tool
Nothing retrieved this way is a clinical or regulatory source. It tells you what is being reported, which is a different question from what is true, and the gap is widest exactly where the stakes are highest.
