When search for something involving the word "best", I don't want old results.
I mean really (Google)...
Sure, I can go to the sidebar and search click a few times to only search within the past year... but honestly, who wants the best of something from 2008? Or even 2011?<p>Especially when most of the things I want are literally becoming better every day... maybe it's just me?
- jacktoole1 15y agoThere are a lot of bests where constraining a search to the last year doesn't make sense. While you may only want video cards from the last year considered for "best video card," throwing out all movies released before 2011 on a search for "best movies" would be ridiculous (unless you keep very up-to-date on your movies). Similarly, best apartments, best books, best recipes, and others benefit from a time-independent search. As google continues to improve, I wouldn't be surprised if this starts happening for some best searches (perhaps through monitoring what links users click on in such searches). There are also probably other keywords that could have a similar effect.
