Buried content in Steem(it)?

Since I've joined the platform one thing that's driving me mad is the lack options available to dig up "popular" + "aged" content. Similar to on reddit where we have the ability to sort by top/new/tag/controversial AND date range. It feels like the majority of the content on this platform is being buried in the abyss.

It seems to me that the trending/new/hot filters all prioritize "new" (< 7 day content), which is whack. Especially when trying to gain context for a particular tag/community.

• The search feature (only way to unbury content) is incredibly under developed and relying on Google Custom Search
• The trending / new / hot / promoted filter a tag when you're in the tag but also filter globally when you're on the homepage.
• The hamburger transforms list view of the posts instead of the intuitive placement for further filtering.
• The links section includes only 2 shortcut links, instead of taking advantage of the real estate

Exhibit A

In my daily sleuthing I came across ProjectSteemCar. The post was from last year, and I wanted to know what they were up to since so I clicked on the tag and.... zlich.

Where are all the pre-existing posts for that tag? I know one exists, because of the original post I had found via google.

Why doesn't date range exist in Steem(it)? Does it exist on another explorer?
