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'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.

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.

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