Noticed that some past articles appeared in search results even after setting appropriate timelimit
Added date in search results wherever available so that can utilize this field to filter out past results

Please check @deedy5

The 'e' parameter is very rare in the results.

shashankdeshpande commented 11 months ago

@deedy5 Yeah, it will be available in the case of articles as a part of search results. I believe it could be a beneficial inclusion for certain use cases.

shashankdeshpande commented 10 months ago

@deedy5 What are your thoughts on this? Don’t you think it’s good to have this addition?

deedy5 commented 10 months ago

If adding "date", it would be a good idea to modify Readme.md and cli.py as well, and to add docstrings to duckduckgo_search.py But the "e" parameter is very rare, meaning it will almost always be "date": None. So I think it makes no sense to add "date".
