How to sort Google search results by day or week
Sometimes when you are searching for news or updates on Google you want to see pages that have been most recently updated. For instance, if you are writing an article in global warming, you would like to know what all has been written on the topic of global warming today, or in the past 3 days, or during the past week. There is no direct interface on Google that lets you search results by day and week, but you can manipulate the search string to achieve the desired result.
For instance, first search for “global warming” (with or without quotes), and then whatever appears in the URL (it is also termed as the query string by the technically gifted) just append &as_qdr=d in the last and hit the enter button. It sorts the results by day and for the consecutive queries it even presents to you with a drop-down menu that lets you sort the search results by days, weeks, months, etc. Go to the Techcrunch blog for a detailed description.
