- JacobAldridge 17y agoI know I prefer SearchYC because it also provides links to parent in the search returns. I often use it to find an article of comment I replied to, so that extra function saves me a click.
- paraschopra 17y agoMoreover, it can also sort by points - a feature I really like (though indexing at SearchYC seems to be slow)

- bravura 17y agoQuestion: Why isn't this linked from hacker news, in the header or footer? Why do we keep waiting for questions on "how do I search hacker news", to pounce and share this link?
- frisco 17y agoBecause WebMynd is a portfolio company, and ostensibly searches Hacker News.
- biafra 17y agoHow do I use HNSearch without Firefox? When I click on the link I only see a page where I can install a Firefox extension.

- johnohara 17y agoWorks. Thank you. Search plug-in in FF works fine too.
