Google Scholar supports a detailed search by year. Searching by *last

publications and is not supported by Google Scholar.
To limit the result list when the users selects a range, all the SearXNG
ranges (*day*, *week*, *month*, *year*) are mapped to *year*. If no range
is set an empty dictionary of arguments is returned. Example; when
user selects a time range (current year minus one in 2022):
