Hi,

first of all thanks to all who are involved in making RForum available.  
It’s a great place to get information for Ruby.

Is there a way to do a more specific search, for example restricted to a  
date intervall (let’s say the last n days).  
For example I’ve been trying to get some opinion about GUI toolkits, but  
obviously things have changed a lot in the last few years and what was  
valid 3 years ago may no longer be a true reflection of the current  
state.

Alternatively is it be possible to sort the search results by date?

If this functionality is available, how can I do that?  
If it’s not available could it be added?

Thanks,  
Armin
