How to use DuckDuckGo to do a basic ‘what’s new in the last month’ search of all posts at WordPress.com blogs…<\/p>\n
site:wordpress.com\/2018\/06 “sir gawain”<\/em><\/p>\n All posts have the same date-based URL structure, so that’s why it works. Be aware that DuckDuckGo will freak out if you do a search like this more than five times, and assume that you’re some kind of Killer Web-Bot and temporarily block access.
