After searchyc went down, I've just used google, adding "site:news.ycombinator.com" after my query. Seems to return quite good results too.

Searchyc will arrange the results of a search in chronological order, which I find very useful since the date I saw the post is one of the most reliable pieces of information I will typically have on the post.

It is funny that this feature has yet to hit google. I am wanting more and more the ability to sort my google results in chronological order. I recently got a iMac and would love to see the most resent article on how to do things and not ones from 2008!

You can add a date range filter to your searches and limit the results to, say, the past year.

Unfortunately, that date range filter is pretty limited, i think there are 5 options, year, month, week and so on.

Better would be an option to specify range.

[jamesbritt]

Better would be an option to specify range.

There is a custom range option as well where you can set the start and end dates.

It's a shame Blekko doesn't seem to crawl news.ycombinator.com much, you could get that information with site:news.ycombinator.com /date [ query ] if they did

I'm afraid that blekko's livecrawl coverage of news.ycombinator.com isn't very good. I'll add that host to our QA suite.
