There is also this website available which does a great job : http://searchyc.com/

This does the job!

I've had luck with the Google operator "site:" as in "site:news.ycombinator.com" and then the rest of the terms + date range limits.

Good one...Hacker news makes hackers to figure it out themselves!!
