In my opinion, What is really missing for example is
the ability to
find all the articles that occur in a geographic location.
I would like to see all the articles about Beijing for example, but it
is not easy. Google provides some of this, but it could be better.

I've seriously thought about implementing this. Enhancing the
existing coordinate templates by creating a searchable coordinates
table in the database would not be a difficult thing. It requires a
bit of thought and effort to make it efficient, but the underlying
idea is simple. Locating nearby articles (and geocoded images) could
have a lot of uses.
