It's a minority of my searches, but I sometimes find myself doing this exactly because I am looking at something related to a current events story. Something pops up in the news and I want to read background about it, understand it in context, see what people were saying about it before whatever controversy arose, whether it was predictable, stuff along those lines. So I google it but because my search term contains [current events thing], no matter how I phrase it google simply fills the results with recent news stories as if I could only possibly be interested in reading what journalists who only discovered that [thing] exists this morning when it [verbed] have to say about it, as if I want nothing more than whatever basic information they dredged up, filtered through them. Useless! Restricting the date does wonders in that circumstance.
