In short, yes, though it's geared toward topic search.

From a strategy perspective, we designed it for topic search because it makes more sense to find everything on a topic first, then filter for the most recent, if recent is what you want. That's because there is a lot of useful information in older articles (citation connections, what people discuss, and how), and gathering all that helps uncover the most relevant results. Conversely if you only ever filtered on articles in the last year, you might discover a few things, but you wouldn't have as much information to adapt to help the search work better.

So, you can ask for articles on coffee (though ideally it should be something a bit more specific, or there will be thousands of results). Our system will carefully find all articles, then you can filter for 2024 articles or look at the timeline.
