Lemmy Search Issue: Filtering by Time Doesn't Work as Expected (programming.dev)

I've noticed an issue with the search functionality on Lemmy. When using the search filters for "top" posts, it doesn't seem to matter whether you select "day," "week," "month," or "year" – the results always show the top posts of all time. This makes it difficult to find recent discussions or trending topics within a specific timeframe.

Has anyone else encountered this problem? Is there already an issue for it on Github?

If I search for comments, I'll see stuff from whenever, but it works as it should when searching for posts.

Sounds like another issue with programming.dev, because here it's working fine.

I just tried it on lemmy.ml and it's the same.

Works correctly for me. Are you using an app?
