Well. I don’t agree. At least for search this is a useful approach much of the time. Especially in cases where there is some non-transparent (e.g. not newest first or something like that) ordering of the results and if there are many of them.
So this has its applications and calling it a “loathsome […] UI sin” is more than a bit over the top.
Perhaps a little over the top, but I stand by my assertion that search is not an excuse for having no intuitive way to reach into the past on a timeline.
