How to filter Bing results by Date? The Date filter is missing on bing, here is a work-around
Intro:
On bing.com can I filter the All results by Date using the
UI?
More Information:
I have used bing.com from Edge Chromium, Edge Mobile, Google
Chrome, logged into MS365 and logged out and in a private window.
The result is the same: I am unable to filter search results
by date using the UI, the “Any time” drop down is gone.
Question:
Is there any solution besides tweaking the query string or
adding special condition to a search?
Can we get the "Any time" drop down returned to
the Bing search screen for All?
I would love to use Bing but without a Date filter feature
that at least mimics Duckduckgo or at best matches google there is NO way I
would ever recommend Bing for the business or home.
Solution:
From below Attempted Workarounds:
1) Add ‘Narrow by Date’ query sting params to url :
&tbs=qdr:y
with:
{bing:baseURL}search?q=%s&tbs=qdr:y&{bing:cvid}{bing:msb}
Attempted Workarounds
Here are the options that I have currently tried , I am
personally using option 1 with 6 but it works for only my general searches.
When I need something narrower like “Last Month” I have to tweak the url again.
1) Add ‘Narrow by Date’ query sting params to url
last
day
&tbs=qdr:d
or year
&tbs=qdr:y
Only
date param that seems to use DatePublished and mimics duckduckgo / google
functionality
2 ) Add Freshness (not same as datePublished)
freshness=week
freshness=2021-08-23..2022-08-23
3) Adding datePublished to search (not sure what this does,
does not seem to work)
eg:
datePublished=YYYY-MM-DD
4) Adding date range to search value: (doesn’t work)
eg "test search" (Jan. 1 - Feb 18)
5) Some unrelated setting? (doesn’t work)
On the
Worldwide screen, select “United States English”. For their own reasons, Bing
only supports search-by-date in the United States.

VS Code : Improve Load Time, Performance, Build and Debugging Speed
Here's How to Make VSCode Faster
So for some reason your VSCode is slow. Really slow. How are you supposed to be productive when the program is running at snail speed? I'm going to show you how to fix this and make VS Code faster.
VS Code Settings to tweak:
1.
Minimap
a.
"editor.minimap.enabled": false,
Controls whether the minimap is shown I’ve set it to false. In my opinion, it creates visual clutter rather than actually help me
while working in a file.
2.
editor.linkedEditing — Editor: Linked
Editing
a.
"editor.linkedEditing": true
I’ve set it to true. As someone who likes to do frontend development,
I work with HTML templates a lot.
3.
Breadcrumbs thumbnails
a.
"breadcrumbs.enabled": false
not
use the fancy settings editor, you can manually add this to your configuration:
4.
Soft Preview

"workbench.editor.enablePreview":
false
Disable single click soft preview file, this creates a preview window
with any single-click in vs code solution explorer.
5.
Whitespace render:
a.
"editor.renderWhitespace":
"all"
See whitespace usage.
6.
Code bracket readability
a.
"editor.bracketPairColorization.enabled":
false,
"editor.bracketPairColorization.independentColorPoolPerBracketType":
true
Improve code readability to improve productivity.
7.
Simple
file dialog
a.
"files.simpleDialog.enable":
true
Open file with in-app dialog
8.
Powershell and editor optimized settings:
a.

9.
Window Title
"window.titleSeparator": "
|",
"window.title":
"${dirty}${remoteName}${separator}${rootName}${separator}${activeEditorShort}${separator}${appName}"
Controls the window title
based on the active editor. Variables are substituted based on the context:
10.
workbench.tips.enabled
a.
"workbench.tips.enabled": false
Disable the tips on load
11. debug.openExplorerOnEnd
a.
"debug.openExplorerOnEnd": true
12.
Telemetry might impact performance.
a.
"telemetry.telemetryLevel":
"off"
a.
"search.searchOnType": false
14.
Stop Notifications
a.
"update.showReleaseNotes":
false,
b.
"workbench.enableExperiments":
false
15.
Optional:
a.
CodeLens Disable
b.
Mindmap on/Off
c.
Terminal GPU Acceleration
d.
Extension Load times: You can easily monitor
the startup time of all those plugins by executing cmd + p > Developer: Show
Running Extensions.
