    I like that DDG lets you put date perameters on searches. Usually when looking for reciepies, I seach only from 1998-2016.

    lemme get some of that sweet old internet

      What is annoying is that it doesn’t accept it inline unlike StartPage and Google: hazelnut pancake before:2017. This means I have to click on the selector and write 02-01-1970 (01-01 breaks it) > 01-01-2017 each time.

        yeah, I get that. Its better than nothing though. Minor annoyances like that, are just that, minor. Of course I dont know the coding, or how simple the fix might be, like you do

        I… usually do 01-01-1998 and 01-01-2016 (the dates ive chosen have no real meaning). What do you mean 01-01 breaks it? Seems to work for me on ddg. I do get results thst were initially published in say, 2009, but the last update will be marked 2025 or somthing, which is fine, and not what I think you mean by breaks it.

        Ill try 02-01, and see if I notice a difference in results
