No, not really.  There's a patch available for 3.1.5 to restrict search
results to a certain date range, but that's not what you're asking for.
All documents are still indexed regardless of the date.

Even if someone were to implement it (and I'm not volunteering), there
are a few questions that come up.

1) How would htdig determine the date?  Is this simply the document's
modification date, or is the date specified somewhere in the document
(i.e. in a meta tag or in the URL itself)?

Come to think of it, if the date is encoded in the URL somewhere, it may
be possible in the current htdig versions to exclude these by setting
exclude_urls patterns (or bad_querystr patterns) to match the dates you
don't want.

2) Would you still want htdig to look for links in older documents, on the
chance that they'd lead to newer documents that you might miss otherwise,
or do you want older documents ignored completely?  I.e. in meta robots
tag terminology, do you want noindex,nofollow or noindex,follow for
older documents?

I don't recall seeing it before.
