Ok now both DDG and Qwant won't let me specify a specific date-range for news articles, and the ranges it does offer are "Any time, past day, past week, past month"??
Research has gotten terrible. Is no one supposed to be interested in historical news? It's just down the memory hole, too late, you should have bookmarked everything?
I'm guessing if I look hard enough or know the codes I can hack it, but why isn't "Custom range" an option in the drop down?
