There is an option which may help for recent "stuff". On every
platform (mobile and desktop) the Google search results page has a
"ribbon" of options below the search box (web, image, video etc.) and
if you go to the right hand end of this is "Search tools". (You may
need to scroll right on mobile platforms.)

Clicking on "Search tools" introduces another "ribbon" on which one of
the options is "Any time". Clicking on this brings up a choice of Past
hour/past 24 hours/past week/past month/past year and filters the
results on the page.

Unfortunately "Search tools" isn't present on Netsurf. Instead the
date choices are present by default in the left hand column on the
actual delivered page.

One up for Risc OS!
