Google Take's Frustration out of Searching by Date

Nothing used to be more annoying than using the date filter search on an average size computer screen.

First you had to select the date from the dropdown; then you had to click on the white screen foreground so that you could use your scroll wheel without resetting the dropdown; and then, finally, you could scroll to the bottom of the page and click the long awaited 'advanced search' button.




OLD way of searching by date's: Observe how the poor usability and bad economy of motion (due to extrenous clicks) make's you a die a little bit in side.





New way of searching by date's: Truly, it is so easy that it doesn't qualify as an 'advanced search' any longer.
