I don't think I've ever seen a "flat nine" chord written without the seventh, and if you didn't include the seventh in your search then it's probably why you couldn't find it. In case you meant merely D - F# - A - Eb ( no seventh), I suppose this would be written: D(add b9).

| | | | Most of the time it's played with the flat seventh so the flat 9 doesn't sound so jarring.
Most usually used as the V7 chord in a minor key. |

Any note of a diminshed chord could be the 3rd of a 7-9 chord.

Thanks again, guys! |

But the chord I was talking about as having all the same intervals as a dom 7(b9) chord--the dim 7(b9) chord--is a different note set. Needless to say, two different ways of handling an OOD from an arranging perspective.
