Maybe I'm not understanding the question correctly, but how about if you just changed the text in the template to something a bit more plain speaking and conversational - like "Search for posts made between ____________ and ___________ ( _____ ) ago"?

Yes something like that I was thinking of, because "newer than x day(s)" is logical for programmers, but not usual daily speaking.

The problem in Kerry's formulation is, do you put oldest (largest) day first or last in normal speaking? I don't think there is a standard solution for that, but if we take the bigger number from these two to be "newer than" and the smaller "older than" it would always give the correct period solution, (also taking |-x| always positive numbers if someone should think of putting negative numbers in).

There also is missing some "mouse move over" help text for the message navigator, something like "browse messages from specific period of time"

Last I would like the search to work so that if you put in a period of say 8-8 days, you would get results which are 8 days old, where you now get nothing, you have to put something like 9-8 ore 7-8 for one day search.
