I wanted to do a retrospective on "what stories were running on Slashdot
on xx/yy/zzzz" and I was unable to convince the search function to do so.
Perhaps I was doing something wrong, but being able to search for all
stories from a particular date or date range would be useful to me, and
probably to others.

I imagin the number of users who know when a story is
posted, but can't find the story is VERY small. A
reasonable feature request, but not a huge priority.

Rob - You're right, but your comment makes me realize that I
didn't make clear my reason for asking. The requested
functionality is for researching on "what was the industry
saying at that time", which would be immensely useful for
prior art gathering, FUD debunking, etc., as well as for
those wishing to document retrospectively the evolution of
an issue. Thanks.
