Over one billion searches were made on DuckDuckGo in 2013

I've been trying again to get in to DDG and currently have it as my search provider in my main browser - but the lack of date limitation is a clincher for me.

I did Bing's search comparison again just today and came out on top for Google 3/5 and even on 2/5 searches.

Seems I'm stuck with Google, just wish it was old Google with booleans and code search and such.

I've never heard of date limitation for Google searches, how does that work?

On a Mac in Safari when I search using Google, immediately above the search results there is a line that has "Search tools" as the rightmost entry. Click that and a new line will appear underneath it with a date limitation drop down menu ("Any time" label) at the leftmost position. Use that to set search date limits.

"Search Tools" on the results page.

I fully admit this is one of my biggest gripes with DDG, though it affects far less than 10% of my searches, likely fewer than 1%.
