search by date doesn't work

Hi,

We're using Webinator 5.1.22-Unix. When I go to a search page and enter something in -- I get proper results. I then click on "sort by date" and then I get "No documents match the query."

Any ideas?

If it matters, when I go to the "List/Edit URLs" page in the Webinator Administration backend, I *do* get a list of urls with dates listed next to them (and they're not all the same dates) when I do a wildcard search sorted by "newest first".

Thanks.

Perhaps they were low rank hits with missing terms. The ranker may discard query terms if there's nothing with all of them. The date search will not discard terms. All are required.
