I have to say that I did not know about the inurl google search parameter. However, this is indeed a very rough estimate because the parameter 100...100000 also captures the number that indicates how long ago a user account was created, so it would also count accounts that were created a while ago (over 100 days) but were inactive.

  I knew about the inurl parameter; it's the range operator that's new to me.

    .. also works; this is the first I've seen of ... for a numerical range find, which is VERY useful for date searches. A couple years ago, I gave a lesson to a class of mostly senior citizens for how to use Google to do genealogy work. We covered the range find, the inurl: and a couple other obscure but useful search enhancers. Pretty interesting stuff (here's the ODP, if interested) http://www.zentu.net/fmt/searchpresentation.odp http://www.zentu.net/fmt/searchpresentation.odp

Slightly more accurate: http://www.google.com/search?sclient=psy&hl=en&biw=1199&bih=670&sout=1&noj=1&source=hp&q=site%3Anews.ycombinator.com+inurl%3A%22user%3Fid%3D%22+100...100000+-%22no+such+user%22&oq=site%3Anews.ycombinator.com+inurl%3A%22user%3Fid%3D%22+100...100000+-%22no+such+user%22&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&gs_sm=e&gs_upl=3061l6005l0l6259l16l16l0l14l0l0l131l131l0.1l1l0 http://www.google.com/search?sclient=psy&hl=en&biw=1... Apparently there are a bunch of pages in the index that just go to "No such user" pages (looks like killed spam accounts). Unfortunately this search also includes people with accounts created between 100 and 100000 days ago, regardless of karma level. Not sure how to filter that out; you can't use the range syntax in between double quotes, it seems.

A slightly better search estimate & 10% lower: http://google.com/search?hl=en&q=site%3Anews.ycombinator.com+inurl%3A%22user%3Fid%3D%22+%22karma+*+100...100000%22 http://google.com/search?hl=en&q=site%3Anews.ycombinator... (search phrase with wildcard and range in it, I didn't even knew this combination was possible)
