When we order the questions by votes, we see questions from all past years and days.

There are a way to see the questions of today ( or of a given day or period?) ordered by votes?

If you include created:2018-04-05 in your search query, you see the posts which were created today. You can restrict it to questions using created:2018-04-05 is:q. (Naturally, if you try the same thing tomorrow, you'll have to change the date to see new questions.) There is a shortcut created:1d which only returns posts created yesterday - I do not know whether there is something similar for the posts created today.

And, of course you can use any other date (or date range), for example created:2018-01-01..2018-01-01 is:q returns questions from January 1 2018. You can also further refine the search query, for example, you can only search for questions in a specific tag.

Of course, as with any search, you have several possibilities how to order search results. One of them is by score. So you can see the top-voted:

For more details see Advanced Search Options in search help.

  • $\begingroup$ @PeterTaylor I am not sure about that. If you indeed try to search using this option, you can see above the search results this text "search options questions only created 2018-04-04 - 2018-04-04". And the help explicitly says that 1y, 1m, and 1d are shorthand for "last year", "last month", and "yesterday". $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ My point was that in addition to created:1d there is created:1d... Compare the results from your search with the results from this one. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ A good feature would be to make this (and other search strings) obvious when searching; advanced search etc. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ @ProducerofBS Try to search for something. If you do that, you are displayed a link called Advanced Search Tips. After you click on it, you are displayed the most frequent search modifiers. And below them is link to the help page which describes more options. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ @MartinSleziak thanks. I always half wondered where it was but never made the effort to find out. I should probably have emphasised "make obvious" more. $\endgroup$

Go to moderation tools -> stats -> today

It has most upvoted, downvoted, commented, etc. posts.

N.B. this is only for 10k+ rep users.
