I have to do an original research paper and I'm going to do it about New York times stories on video games in the news (such as bills/laws, relation to shootings, etc) from Jan 1 - Dec 31, 2012. The problem I'm having is filtering my search results down to a reasonable number. I've tried Google and LexisAcademic but I've been unable to get anything short of 500 articles. Ideally I would like 100. If anyone could point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.

what is wrong with only taking the 1st 100 of the 500 results?

there are articles written that will help you search, narrow or filter the results of a search. its sounds like you need to start there. googleguide

Well when I search Google, I have found alot of the articles in the first few pages have no mention to video games and they only appear because of a link to another story about video games.
