I wanted the ability to search on a date. and Hoff provided it. and it seems to work fine.  

I would love to run a newsreader but unfortunately here at work I am somewhat limited in my ability to access certain sites/ports. :-(

and what I searched on, was several iterations of search, date, file.
I did see one that was kind of close but not quite what was needed.
