You can also quickly get to the google ranges (when needed) via our !bang syntax: http://duckduckgo.com/bang.html - e.g. just add !gyear !gmonth etc to the end of your query.
I can think of the example, but there was something with few results for (about) 12 years ago (and those were the ones I wanted) but millions for this year. (And I didn't want those.)

Also, Opera has had it for years (right-click any form field and choose "Create Search" - no plugins or options screens needed)
Language SE - quint in quintessential
So I clicky the link, but it appears to have nothing to do with Stack Exchange. Some of the others work - Numote Big Bang Schedule has a nice box at top of the search results.
ALSO: Do you have a printable cheat sheet for all the bang syntax and extras? A4, mono, please!

I love the site, but alot of the time, Yahoo's results are weak.
Best of luck.
I think I'm not alone in using the address bar less and less.
While I'm at it:
- I would probably change the color of the address in the results to make it easier to distinguish from the excerpt/description.
- Remove the green background that is displayed on hover. I find it hard to scan entries with that big green blob hovering :)

I'm buying a t-shirt to say thanks.
Personally, I don't think social graph leverage is bad though.
Or you could do any number of things to communicate that there are more results using an alternate spelling. But please don't silently drop search terms I explicitly typed into the search bar.
+ing terms is a nuisance & usually has to be done after you've searched and missed "the exact page you were searching for". Maybe I'm in the minority but I find this awkward compared to Google search of old.
See how annoying it is? They change this stuff.
Also, like I said - default behaviour is great for most people. I dislike it. I don't want Google subbing words for me, and I don't want to enclose everything in quotes.
We've also experimented with moving it around (including where you suggest).
