Google seems to also have a heavy recency bias.

I've tried to search for news articles that were even a month old and have had trouble locating links to stories I know happened. I don't know any tricks to working around this. And if I don't recall specifically when the article came out (say, somewhere around 6 months ago), I'll usually give up.

Any tips on finding "historical" results?

I've gotten so pissed off about this that I compulsively save to disk every interesting article I find.

I agree. I hate that any search I do will show CNN articles from this week. Dude google, if I wanted recent news I would use the news tab.

Search tools -> Any time -> Custom range

Nice. Last I looked into this, I couldn't select a custom range, it was limited to set times like, last 6 months or something. Thanks
