Google does have a date-modified specifier in its advanced settings, I
believe. However, it's going to be the date that the file was indexed by the
Googlebot, so a rough measure, but if you need something from a particular
year I would look at the Google settings screen (Googlebot indexes most
websites each month; I would suggest allowing for about 3 months of elbow
room in your searches).

(heh, go figure. first time I get to be the expert on this list. library
school - good for something. :)
