Search engines match text strings. So yes, you can search by date since both the month and year are text strings in each post. If your search includes "july" and "2003" then all html files that contain that string get matched so you get all posts for that month of that year. Therefore, you CAN convince the search engine to return posts from a certain month or a year since it's only a text string.

I see no way to order the results chronologically like the original poster would like.

I simply offered a workaround (which i personally use) that _could_ help the original poster.
