GooFresh -- Fresh Google Results!: "GooFresh - Query Recent Additions to Google!

Query:
What time period do you want to check?: Today Yesterday Last 7 Days Last 30 Days


Query:
What time period do you want to check?:




Google offers a date-based syntax, but you can only access it via the advanced search, which limits your time options, or the daterange: syntax, which uses Julian dates and is a bit difficult to use.
This form is a way to search for sites added today, yesterday, within the last seven days, or last 30 days. You can search now and you can create an URL that you can use in search monitoring services like TracerLock -- more about that in a minute.


*NOTE: The date based search finds only pages that have been ADDED OR UPDATED IN THE INDEX ON A PARTICULAR DAY. It does not find pages based on their CREATION date. So keep that in mind.

*ANOTHER NOTE: Google does not support their daterange: syntax, which this form uses (You can use a search with daterange: if you like, but Google doesn't guarantee the veracity of the results.) If you get weird results, please don't blame Google.
Use this search the way you'd use regular Google, with a couple of exceptions. The daterange: search does not support the link: syntax, nor does it appear to support the special content syntaxes like phonebook:, etc.

Use the information generated by this form to monitor Google for newly-indexed pages containing information in which you're interested. All you need is an URL and a monitoring program, like TracerLock, SpyOnIt, WebSite Watcher, etc. Here's the URL format:
http://www.researchbuzz.com/cgi-bin/goofresh.cgi?query=xx&datemod=yy
xx = the QUERY that you want to run. This can be anything. Denote phrases with quotes; link words together (except those in quotes) with +. If you want to exclude an item in your search, use +-. So for example:

?query="sword dance"+site:edu

means "sword dance" site:edu

?query="sword dance"+-site:org

means "sword dance" -site:org

yy = the DATE MODIFIER for indexing. The valid datemods are as follows:

0 = Search pages indexed TODAY
1 = Search pages index YESTERDAY
7 = Search pages indexed IN THE LAST SEVEN DAYS
30 = Search pages indexed IN THE LAST THIRTY DAYS

So let's put it all together. The query:

http://www.researchbuzz.com/cgi-bin/goofresh.cgi?query="morris dance"&datemod=7

finds all pages containing the phrase "morris dance" that have been indexed by Google in the last seven days.

http://www.researchbuzz.com/cgi-bin/goofresh.cgi?query=giraffe+-zoo&datemod=1

Finds all pages that contain the word giraffe but don't contain the word zoo that were indexed by Google yesterday.
