While this is up, does anyone know what happened to the Priceonomics search bar?


sort by: page size:

It's still up. They just broke search-by-date, which makes it fairly useless for finding particular posts.

Semi off topic, but what happened to this website, used to be the top result when searching for services, now even when I search alternative to x it often won’t be on the first page.

Aaaaand it's gone! 404 for me.

Hm. What happened? Did someone realize, that there is traffic on that page and took it down?


I've noticed it offline the past day or two, I used it pretty extensively to find old threads on here. Any alternatives if it's gone for good?

I was looking for it again today, but can't find any trace of it.

There was also a blog post about it at forbes.com which seems to have disappeared as well.

TTAG was about aggregating retail product mentions on Twitter, FB, and other social media sites, which (supposedly) was a better leading indicator of stock prices than other estimates.

Was it a hoax?


I just noticed that it's no longer available after I wanted to post a link to it here. Does anyone know what happened to it?

Nothing happened to it. It was always an SEO playground that infected more relevant results. I wish I could block it from search results.

Weirder still, it is gone again. The only place you can get to it is through the "new" page.

it has been gone for some time now. looks like that community is reforming here: http://www.markenomics.com/

SVB no longer populates in Forbes on-line search ... as far as I can tell

No, it seems like it's still up, though for some reason on place 81. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5667466

It's been removed from search engine URL lines for a while.

Click the Web link and click the first result and bam, it no longer is.

The page seems to have vanished in the last few hours. (Whups, now it's back).

Doesn't seem to be up (anymore?).

There's just too many alternatives and the market is crowded. Even with paying customers, they're focusing on other things..so they won't update the site for a while. If they bring it back, by the time they do, a better alternative wins and they go back into shutting it down. The gif is ok.

I'm seeing the page still there. Has an update now though.

Yeah it's also possible they temporarily took it down because of the flood of users that were slowing down the whole site for everyone. Potential for it to be back but the rate limits are really low, something like 2 queries per user per day

Yeah, I remember it being up just a week ago. Really disappointed it’s gone…
