1. Sorting by date and not by points often produces ugly results (especially on long period) so we introduced the "last 24", "past week" and "past month" options filtering the resultset but keeping the default ranking. Would love to have more feedback about it, because even it's different than before, we think it fits quite well.

2. verbatim search is something we do not provide yet, I opened a feature-request our side :)

3. Have you check [All] or [Comment] instead of default [Story]?

(I've just updated hn.algolia.com with last ranking/design tweaks)

1. I disagree, but ok. Comment rankings may or may not be very interesting, and if there are many comments in a 24h period it is totally unhelpful (want to find latest comments with [x] keyword)

2. cool :)

3. I had checked [All], but the results look much better now (and this discussion shows up).

1. You're right, it doesn't fit your use-case. We'll implement a strict ordering in the next iteration.
