How to search for OLDER date ranges?

Like I want google to list only sites that offer reviews of xxx product
between the years 2004 and 2006

Why do they restrict that for crying out loud?

Any way to do a custom range? I am trying to find articles on a current news article, but want to find out if anyone knew about the topic BEFORE it was release all over the press. This could be a very powerful tool. Say the new story hit yestrday and I want to find all pages created before yesterday? Thank you.

The date search feature looks great but I haven’t figured out how to use it. Is there a webpage that shows step by step how do run a search?

is there a way to only search older web pages?

Such as looking for pages updated in and before 2005 for a particular subject, but discard all pages updated in 2006 to today?

This is a relevant tool and it is definitely very powerful when deriving analytical data. However, is there a way that this can be programmed or plugged into some optional parameters that can be switched on or off whenever you want to search something? I for sure, cannot remember the syntax for this query.

Regards,
Seeni

Cache dates for PDFs

As a federal agency we post repost PDFs to our sites with the same exact name – just new updated information. With the current Google feature set for SERP the cache feature does not apply to PDFs – which is a problem since we have around 15,000 PDFs that are posted (and more to come.)

I saw the video that you created on how Goggle now shows the last checked date on pages (nicely done) to reflect that in the cache display, but without the ability for users to see the cache date on PDFs on the SERP it makes it difficult for end users to know if reoccurringly published PDFs are worth downloading again (at 20 to 30 MB each) as they are updated. This causes people to download them just to be sure that they are the latest so they can use them.

Having cache dates for PDFs is something that is very useful and I would hope the G Team would add that into the feature set on the SERP.

Thanks,

Tom

Matt.

2 questions.

1) Doesn’t this increase the chances of spammers scraping content from sites and pushing it over duplicate domains things like PHPSESSID attacks etc.
2) In order to protect webmasters would it not be better to totally remove the site and cache commands from public use and move them into Webmaster tools exclusivelly.

I certainly know that shoudl I want to screw peoples listings up this has helped make it easier.
