You can't order by date or filter on Google either. I think the fact that young people use it over google as a search says something.

Actually, google's paid search API can order by date, ascending or descending.

Checkout this example:

I don't understand how the dates work on that. On the search you linked, the first result is an HN post with a date listed as "2000-09-18", but if you click the link, the post was from 3 months ago.

This is probably because the HN page doesn't contain the document date metadata. So google just picked a random date from that page.

I love this! Often when searching for some event I want the first report, not the spam that followed. Thank you for showing me this service.

You can order Google News by date and Search (at least in a desktop view) can be filtered to only include results from the past hour, day, week, month, or year.
