If you type “before:date” in Youtube search you can filter videos that have only been uploaded up that year

You can do this in Google too.

Long, long ago, you used to be able to search for exact strings of text by putting them in quotes, for example searching "frog blast the vent core" would only return pages that included those exact words in that exact order. Sometime around TikTok catching on and blowing everyone out of the fucking water in the attention economy with its hyper streamlined gamified UI based on gambling mechanics and its shameless goyslop feed engineered by CCP interests to corrupt and demoralize the west, Google was forced to come to terms with the fact that they'd failed to effectively monetize any of the services they'd gambled on and resorted to deliberately making the one thing they've ever done right -- their search functions -- worse so you'd have to spend more time on their services trying to find what you're actually fucking looking for, thus viewing more ads and being more likely to get distracted by something they're "recommending" you. This included silently nuking the exact string functionality for a while, among other things. Eventually after people (((noticed))) they capitulated and now you have to search in quotes, expand the faggot menu, expand Search Tools and select "verbatim".

I do you one better:
The windows explorer search also allows for meta tags relating to time, like
date:X
datemodified:X
dateaccessed:X
datecreated:X
datetaken:X
X here can be either a date of format "MM/DD/YYYY", a range of dates "MM/DD/YYYY .. MM/DD/YYYY" or a bound of date ">MM/DD/YYYY" or "<MM/DD/YYYY".
I had to figure that out to find crash event logs for a ntos kernel error that bugged me for a while.
The more you know
