Oh, you're right! I didn't know about comments>0. That instantly filtered out so much noise. Thank you. Any tips for filtering out the Ask HNs, and also username searches? https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&query=Erdos%20comments%3E0&sort=byDate&type=story https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que... Your query is probably close enough though. It cut the results from ~4 pages to 1.5.

Aha, the trick is to go into https://hn.algolia.com/settings https://hn.algolia.com/settings and turn off all the checkboxes: - Use the story text for search - Use the author's username for search - Typo-tolerance After that, it gives a lovely one-page list: https://i.imgur.com/14I1dv6.png https://i.imgur.com/14I1dv6.png Wish it was a matter of changing query params, not persistent settings, but tacking "comments>0" onto random searches is awesome. "points>5" is great too: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&query=feynman%20comments%3E0%20points%3E5&sort=byDate&type=story https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que... Thanks again!
