The definitions of "recent" that they allow are anytime, past 24 > hours, past week, past month, and past year. Only that it doesn't work properly because they need to do a lot of guesswork (which Wikipedia wouldn't, thanks to proper meta data). (Example for where it doesn't work properly: search for >site:de.wikipedia.org "languagetool"< on google.de and filter by 'last year' and see how the 'Apache OpenOffice' result disappears from the list although it was modified recently). BTW, "sort by date" and "sort by relevance" links *do* appear on Google once you have limited results by date. Anyway, I don't think we should care what Google does, the use case of web search if too different from a site-wide search. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
