Date filter not working

Value7609 · Jan 10, 2024

I searched for "hacker news" in news, and set the date filter to day, which IIUC should show news posted today.

But the only thing it showed, was an article from "2 days ago"

After investigating the top links, the first hacker news post and the second article about "decentralized hacker news" are from today, so these are correct, the third one does seem to be a bit older.

My problem is not that some search indexes don't show the correct date, but that Kagi clearly gets the article time stamp as "2 days ago", so the data would be there, but it didn't get filtered correctly.

Interestingly enough, when selecting the "week" filter, I see many posts from <24 hours ago, which don't show up when filtering by today.

I expected to see all results which kagi has for this query, which were posted today, or in the last 24 hours.

I expect, that I don't see posts, older than 48 hours.

The time selection feature does not work as expected when using the "news" option in search.

Searching for "guatemala election" (no quotes) under news lists the first two results as items dated Jan 2, 2024 and Sept 2, 2023. Selecting "day" or "week" does not change this.

Searching for "guatemala election" (no quotes) on the main search and restricting results to past 24 hours shows several recently published articles on major news sites. Restricting it to past week leads to the shows a "news" section within the main search page that shows recent articles (from the last week), but clicking on "see more news" leads to the same issues as above.

Desired functionality would be that the "day" or "week" or "month" button in the news section functioned as they do in the main search, i.e. "day" means within the last 24 hours, "week" within the last week, etc.
