A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

It's not a big deal... for now, because most of the time when I limit DDG results I ask for 1 year back (for solutions that are sort of recent but not ancient).
I would never limit results to just the last week, and typically posts that are that fresh won't have enough accumulated knowledge so even if they pop up on the results they're not really useful.
Again, that's just my experience. I'm curious if others have similar ones.
In 51 weeks, the decreasing usefulness of that search drops to zero. This is not about now; it's about the future.
And that comment is not about “what it’s about”. It’s about being curious. It’s incidental to the topic at hand.
True but It will become a bigger deal every passing day that is the problem.
I also wonder if search engine's will delist results after a period of time. If the site is blocking them. After all you don't want your top results to just be 404s all of the time.
Unless it's 404 Media!
