+### Point-in-time search filter for Code Search
+
+<br/>
+
+Sourcegraph 5.3.x brings improvements to Code Search with a new search filter [rev:at.time()](https://github.com/sourcegraph/sourcegraph/pull/61513) that provides point-in-time searching. This allows for searching a repo’s state at a specific timestamp rather than at a specific commit, branch, or tag.
+
+
+<br/>
+
+### Improved Code Insights chart drill-downs
+
+<br/>
+
+Code Insights chart drill-downs now utilize the new point-in-time search filter to more accurately represent the results that produced a data point on a chart. Previously a diff search was used to show the difference between a selected point in time on a chart and the one before it, but Code Insights can now show a repository’s state at that exact timestamp. This functionality is useful for those searching large repositories or repositories with lots of history.
