Hacker News Reader

I constantly search for results within the past year to find information that's actually recent and current instead of "how to do x, circa 200X"

I do the same thing. I use the left-sidebar time range selection and set it to "past year" for about 50% of my searches.

So much that I wish it was visible by default, or even more central. So many times the top results are very high references of outdated things.
