It seems to me all internet browsers constantly supply old search results. Results show up are years old, a decade old. With Google's one shot "Tools,Any Time, Past Year", "Tools" popup, I see current results. Is it possible to somehow get them without having to make a special search. A way to configure a particular browser?

One of us has a misunderstanding. Either I misunderstand your question, or you misunderstand what is going on when you do an internet search.

The results of an internet search that displays in your browser is NOT generated by your browser. Search results are generated by the search engine on the search server (google, duckduckgo, etc) and your browser has NO control over what that content will be The solution is to craft an appropriate search requirement. Alas, I know of no way to make specific requirements the default, only find ways to specify them manually. (And not even that for all search engines!)

Google does have some search settings that you can pre-configure, if you look at the bottom right hand side of their search page you can go check them out. Unfortunately, those tools settings that let you select only results from the past week/month/year etc. are not in the settings where they let you set them.

I use those settings all the time myself and also wish you could just set it as a default.

Let me see.

From ddgr(1):
You surely know how to make a shell alias or function.

If his search is form within a browser, I am not sure a shell alias will do him any good.

OK.

Thank you very much. Shruggy put a solution here. See his shot and my response.

I claim newbie status. But wow! I like that and am trying it. Thanks for two choices and links to their man pages. I installed them and am trying out Googler and DDgr I am wowed, thanks!

You are right, but thanks anyway.
