Before Google took over, you could search for posts by a particular
author or in a particular date range etc. Now you can only do a crude
search for keywords.

You probably never used the archive before Google took over, so you
don't know how much better it used to be.

Do you know how I can search for the keyword "Ophelia" and sort in
ascending date order, so starting with the oldest, not with the
newest?
