Any search engine I've ever used allowed me to filter for results from the past month/year/etc.

The real shower thought is that most people don't know how to use advanced search settings anymore when it used to be common knowledge you needed to find anything even slightly niche

Maybe they searched for “how to limit search results by date”, but the instructions they found were obsolete.
