Google's built-in options let you filter your searches to show "Recent" or "Past 24 hours" results, but a quick URL tweak can give searchers near-real-time results.
The URL trick itself isn't quite an easily memorable string. At the tail end of any time-restricted Google search, you'll see parameters that look like:
https://google.com ...1tbs=qdr:d
The little bit after the qdr: is the time restriction.
Type in a number after
"s" for seconds,
"n" for minutes,
"h" for hour,
"d" for day,"
and so forth,
and you can get Google to limit its findings just about any way you want.
The screenshot shows a search for "afghanistan" for results from the last 5 minutes.
(I changed the "d" at the end of the string to "n5".)
It's not hard to pull off with a little address bar tweaking.
Happy searching!
