Google Groups Drops Date Based Search

I forgot where I read it yesterday, but I did remember to double check it today. It seems that the new version of Google Groups, now in beta, will not support searching by date ranges:

This will render a Google game that I posted 339 days ago unplayable.

Unless Google adds the date range search back when the new Google Groups goes live, the game is retired.

And if anybody at Google read this, please consider saving this feature.

Today's homework: Using Google Groups, find out when the phrase "Web Application" first appeared on the internet (at least the part of the internet archived in Google Groups.)

Hmmm, not quite the web application as we know it today. Try something more definite, like "Linux kernel", "vi vs. Emacs."
