Make Use Of Podcast #30: More Current Google Searches

Oct. 29th, 2008 By Jason Mayoff

I read Saikat Basu’s article on searching Google by date and thought, I often need to do that when searching for a product review or a tutorial on a newer piece of software or technology. I’ve just used Google’s advanced date search, but there are some much better options out there.

Great article and podcast for learning how to use date ranging in Google, but it does not answer my question: how do you sort the results in reverse chronological order?

I love relevancy ranking, but sometimes would like to see the results listed in order of most recent first.

Thank you!

I must say that I definitely do not like the new format of several shorter casts a week. I much preferred the consistency of the one every Sunday. In fact, I’ve all but stopped listening to it. I urge others who feel the same to reply to this comment as a petition of sorts.

@Paul: I’ll have to look into that for you.

@JBu92: Thanks for the feedback. Please, I’d also love to hear from others about the format. If you think one longer podcast is better than several shorter ones, then by all means leave a comment. If you like the new format, then leave a comment about that, too.

I just started subscribing to the podcast, so I have no comment on the shorter vs longer format. I do have a question though – where are the show notes or at least a list of links from the podcast for all the different search sites?

Am I missing something right in front of me?

Thanks
John
