I like seeing the date in search results on Google.  Put differently, I hate not seeing the date.  Last week I was searching for something and came across a result that seemed relevant, so I clicked it.  It turns out it was from five or six years ago.  In terms of technology, that was several lifetimes ago.  It's one thing if you're searching for something that's pretty static.  From one year to the next, even from one decade to the next, the information concerning a static topic probably won't change at all.  But if you're searching for something dynamic (e.g. technology-related), chances are it just changed yesterday, so that search result from the late 90s is no longer even remotely applicable. #technology
