Syntax for doing things like this with DDG:

I'd switch to DDG in a half second if they supported the full query syntax of altavista.digital.com (see http://jkorpela.fi/altavista/ if you've forgotten). Disclaimer: I work for, um, Google.

I do wish they supported a larger search syntax. My current workaround is I have a massive bookmark folder of alternative search engines that I try if I'm not having luck narrowing things down enough.

That might make an interesting blog post

I'm still mid-setting up a blog, but I'll keep that in mind once I've got it up and running.

I'm afraid it probably wouldn't be that interesting to HN'ers though, because this is where I found most of them.

I'm pretty new to HN so I'd really find that post interesting – having them listed in one place would be useful.

If you want, you can shoot me an email and I'll send a link to a page where I have them listed already. Not a blog post, and not much info about them, but I have a list.

I just don't have a domain yet so I don't really want to go super public.

Sure thing, I've just emailed you.

Update: there is now a domain, the page can be found at
