Reiterating this [1] post.<p>"The new replacement hn search (hn.algolia.com) doesn't accept basic search syntax.<p>Searching for "arkos" or arkos returns the same number of results with fuzzy matches. http://hn.algolia.com/#!/story/forever/prefix/0/arkos<p>I tried other standard search syntax found on Google or SOLR, but it did not work. For example, -argos, NOT argos, etc. I tried to find search query details in their documentation, but did not find any.<p>Please keep hnsearch.com working in the meantime, and don't shut it down on March 15th, 2014."<p>1: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7355425<p>Jyu's comment is also highly relevant:<p>"When the announcement to shut down HNSearch was made nearly 40 days ago, I thought Algolia would have ample time to catch up. It was lacking back then, and there was plenty of feedback for them to work with.<p>With the hard cutoff date nearing, it doesn't seem Algolia will be close to matching functionality.<p>A couple other features are date range search, and phrase search. Actually, just include all the SOLR query syntax: http://www.solrtutorial.com/solr-query-syntax.html"<p>The small piece of good news:<p>"hn.algolia.com is also fully opensource, so pull requests are welcome: https://github.com/algolia/hn-search"
