P.S. Being curious, I have just been reading about the search parameter
'daterange' and the example given by Google is if you want to examine
documents with a modification date in a range you would search for

parrot daterange:2008-08-01..2008-12-24

ie.

http://google.com/search?q=parrot+daterange:2008-08-01..2008-12-24

But it doesn't seem to work. It's just gets your RISC OS box blocked from
making Google searches and you can't click on the message response
proving you're a human. Using their own example. Duh.
