Description
Description:
The current search UI only supports sorting results by source. We need richer date handling across the Explore interface:
- Sorting: Add option to sort results by date (ascending/descending).
- Filtering: Replace calendar-based date picker with a more usable control, e.g., a continuous date-range slider. Should allow quick narrowing of results by time window.
- Timeline visualization: Above or below the slider, add a histogram/bar plot showing result density over time. Bars should update dynamically based on active filters.
These improvements will make temporal exploration smoother and give users a clearer sense of how results are distributed across the timeline.

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by locating the Explore search UI, existing source-sort and calendar date-picker code, and the result timestamp data; then determine where filtering and histogram updates belong. Done means date sorting works in both directions, the date-range control narrows results, and the timeline bars reflect the active filters.
