The internet used to be where you found the latest information. But it’s old enough that you could easily find info on 10-20 year old articles that are out of date and irrelevant
I find it’s the opposite: engines are so biased toward new content that older but still useful (or crucial) results are buried. I feel like an archeologist some days, carefully digging through the strata to find ancient hidden treasure.
You make like Kagi. It’s a search engine that lets you - among other things - search old articles. It’s a paid service though (but they offer a free 100 queries trial)
Odd. I find it to be the exact opposite. If I want a real article, with thought put into it beside how to make it pop up as #1 in the search engine, I need to set the most recent date possible as prior to 2015 (sometimes even further back).
I suppose it depends on what you’re looking for. News articles obviously have to be recent, and it’s relatively difficult to bullshit your way into an informative news piece. Advice or DIY instructions though? You better search waaaay far back.
Any search engine I’ve ever used allowed me to filter for results from the past month/year/etc.
