Correcting myself now, searching by date appears to work much better in
Discourse than in HyperKitty.

Browsing by date is an obvious feature of the side navigation column in
HyperKitty which may have the advantage of being able to go the next point in
the date sequence much more efficiently.

Searching by date is a much more accurate and flexible in Discourse but is less
efficient for browsing messages through the sequence of all messages matching a
date criteria.  Searching by date could be fixed for HyperKitty using Django
upon which HyperKitty runs.

Using multiple web browser tabs, to link from the result set in one tab is
needed in Discourse to preserve the search results and link to the next post in
a new tab.  If there is additional text in the query in addition to date
multiple tabs are needed in both Django and HyperKitty.  Very old mail clients
do this better but I expect it can be fixed in both.
