Ok, it only took ... 4 years ... but we now have sort-by-date
available in the advanced search interface. Enjoy.

The case sensitivity is a bit confusing. As far as I can see, "magic"
also finds "Magic" and "MAGIC". "Magic" and "MAGIC" find each other,
but don't find "magic", so they're kind of semi-case-sensitive. Also,
"Magic" and "MAGIC" don't highlight the terms they found in the search
results page.


Hmm.. this must be the proper name "feature". I'll see if I can
figure out how to disable it.

Because this is at the nascent  "hey, let's experiment"
stage,  I expect there will be plenty of ... opportunities
for feedback.
