My meaning was just that I saw it sometimes referenced on HN, but I haven't seen it mentioned for a while now. Hence my search and results showing 8 years since.

I guess what I should be doing is looking at the Alexa ranking of Wolfram Alpha.

You should search comments, rather than stories. It's very regularly referenced in HN comments, often for calculations, sometimes in other contexts.

I appreciate the conversation around WA this Ask HN has started, but yeah you've basically completely answered the original question by pointing this out.

Fair enough. I was definitely searching comments (not stories), but I might not have filtered by Date, hence the lack of recent results.

Sorting by popularity has been broken for years because comment scores aren't public any more.

They're just serving up answers which is boring to HN readers. Where's the drama in collecting data privately? Where's the drama from censoring results? No drama == No interest? Gawd, I have become cynical.
