But I started examining some date-restricted searches, and it seems like it may be doing textsearch for dates within the range within the page... pulls up many current pages which reference older dates within the page's content. Makes sense in a way, because few webpages from five years ago are still alive on "The Ephemeral Web". But it seems a bit different than Google's "find pages first spidered within the last month" and other options. I'm not sure of what I'm seeing, though... does the above check out for you? tx, jd/adobe Hi Harry, thanks for the tip.
