HI all
Is it me, or is the drop-down allowing Bing search results to be narrowed down by date/time not showing up anymore? I use that feature a lot and lately have noticed it isn't available!
FOR INSTANCE, I just searched for a town in my state, and want to narrow the results down for the last week or so. The drop down menu to do so is not displaying.
I am referring to searching on a PC, and I just made the move to Windows 10, but I can't see that being a factor. I use Opera as a browser but have for a long time.
HELP??

I have same issue in ALL browsers (safari, edge, chrome, firefox) on ALL devices. No date option.
No matter logged with MS account or not.
This stops me from using Bing.

Hi Nells250, I am Paulo and I'd like to help.
Do you mean this? If so, the screenshot was from the Opera browser and I still have it. Have you checked if this is happening on other browsers that you have?
Try to clear Bing's site data and see if that helps. Go to Bing website, click the lock icon beside the website address and then click Site settings. Close the previous tab and then click the Clear data. Once done, try to access the website again and see if it fixes the problem.
Since this is not happening to other browsers, then you're correct that this may only be an issue with Opera. I suggest you submit feedback within the app or post this issue on their forum.
In the meantime, what happened after clearing the site data?
CORRECT, that is what is now missing. I tried finding what you were describing to clear my data but didn't find it. I did it the old fashion way through Opera settings instead. (Again, this is on a PC)
But you did make me look at all three of my browsers, and guess what?
I used each one to search for "Orange MA". On page 2 of the search results within each browser, Firefox and Edge DID have the sort-by-date menu, but Opera did NOT. That seems to mean that it isn't a BING thing, but an Opera thing! OR it is some sort of compatibility issue, possibly even a security issue?
See the screen shots below... at the top is Opera, then Edge in the middle, and Firefox at the bottom.
