Re:HN Search Updated

I noticed its been updated so here are a few concerns still:
-I prefer the old date search compare to the new options that mimic how Google does it. I prefer the ability to sort by relevance vs date (in descending from most recent) the way HN search does it. Simply restricting to most recent by a certain timeframe doesn't let me expand beyond the period specified and currently it doesn't sort the date in order (at least not when choosing forever)
-Negative keyword parameter no longer available
-Title search parameter is also gone
-Not sure how the relevancy algorithm is calculated but for tests I've ran, it is showing some really old posts (2 years ago) at the top which makes no sense
