Presenting NowRelevant Search Engine

On September 6, I read about a new search engine and blogged about it on RedGage, but not everyone who reads my blog also reads my RedGage posts, so I wanted to spread the word about this search engine to you, too.  By the way, if you would like to join a site that pays you for various types of your content (blogs, photos, videos, documents, and links), please join RedGage through through my link and I will help you on that site, as I do for everyone who signs up through my link.  I've been on RedGage for about six months, and enjoy the community and its talent.  The remainder of this post is almost completely identical to the text I wrote on September 6 for RedGage.

You may think, "We don't need another search engine," and I might agree—I already have ten bookmarked—but what makes this one useful is that it produces only recent content, the freshest material.  The searcher can select how many days should be searched, up to the past 14 days.  To test it, and compare it with other major search engines, I searched for a topic in today's news (on September 6, that is)—jobs bill—and displayed the results.  When listed content didn't show a date, I went to the article itself and included its publication date in brackets.  Hyperlinks and other variations in search text have been ignored, and results are displayed in a smaller italicized font to set them apart from my comments.  Also, only the first few items found by each search engine are presented.

Here are the first of the search results found by NowRelevant.com when a time frame of the past five days is selected:

Portions of their results are shown in light gray, as shown.  True to their word, NowRelevant has found very recent content, and nothing older than three days appears at the beginning of their search results.  Perhaps "jobs bill" is such a current topic of discussion and concern that other search engines will yield similarly fresh content.  Let's see. 

I searched "jobs bill" with Google, Google Advanced Search, Bing, and Yahoo!  Here are the first results of each:

August 11 is the date of the newest item at the beginning of the search results produced by Google--not exactly fresh content.  However, Google does offer options within Advanced Search, including how far to look back, so I searched Google for "jobs bill" content from the past week:

Among initial results, Bing did not find one for the most recent jobs bill that is being discussed today.  February 25, 2010 is the "newest" entry.  No wonder most of the dates were not prominently displayed!  Bing does offer Advanced Search options. Parameters of search terms, site/domain, country/region, and language can be added, but I've not found anywhere to specify recent content.


Yahoo! Search

Of course, Yahoo! search results are going to be the same as those produced by Bing (because Bing powers Yahoo! Search), except that in the presentation, Yahoo! inserts "News Results" (which presents the only recent content) after the third item:
