Display Published Date in Google Search Results

How to display the date a web page was published in Google’s Search Results.

Sometimes Google shows a published date in search results, and sometimes it does not.

For example:

This method allows you to always show that date in your search results.

Simply add &as_qdr=y15 to the end of the URL of your Google search result.

For example:

Without: www.google.com/search?q=hardanswers.net

With &as_qdr=y15 added: www.google.com/search?q=hardanswers.net&as_qdr=y15

Filter Google Search Results by Date

If you want to filter the google search results to limit to a window, you can do this:

• &tbs=qdr:h to limit to the last hour
• &tbs=qdr:d to limit to the last day
• &tbs=qdr:w to limit to the last week
• &tbs=qdr:m to limit to the last month
• &tbs=qdr:y to limit to the last year
