Ok, I'll try it for a while. It really doesn't seem like it's worth adding a link for something so trivial though.

If it was trivial, there wouldn't be so many questions about how to search the site :) But thanks. Edit: Or maybe if you're the type of person who can't figure it out, you're not the type of person who should be posting on HackerNews in the first place?

  Anyone that has content that's interesting to hackers is "the type of person who should be posting on HackerNews". I love this community (and hacking in general) in large part because it's not filled with that sort of elitism; anyone who's able to contribute in a positive way is welcome.

Any time I see something valuable on HN I quickly bookmark it so that I can read it later on without the hassle to search it. Search is a hassle on YC. I think we need a solution especially having been used to quick and effective google search for almost anything.

  That's what searchyc.com is all about. Google is a good solution, searchyc.com is even better.

    "... searchyc.com is even better. ..." I'll second that. searchyc is my HN search of choice. Works every time. Why are users complaining about finding things?

  In a sense, HN is itself a bookmark site once logged in. That is, by looking at the "saved stories" link from my profile, I see what I've upvoted. Hence an incentive to upvote not just good items, but items I want to look at multiple times. (No such "saved comments" index exists, though?)
  - jacquesm 17y ago
    Yes, unless of course your 'saved stories' link has more than 210 entries on it. edit: Hey, wow! This seems to have been quietly fixed, I really missed this and I'm pretty happy it's repaired.

  I compulsively bookmark anything interesting I read on the net these days. Nothing is as annoying as wanting to refer to something I've read before and only able to find it again after a huge googling effort.

  The easiest way to bookmark HN articles is to leave a comment.
  - jacquesm 17y ago
    That's not correct, the easiest way to bookmark is to upvote. The articles then end under your 'saved' list (see your profile links) and you can find them again later. These lists were limited in length until recently but it seems that that has now been fixed and you can go all the way back to when you joined HN.

Would be great if you shared the number of hits to that url after about a month or so.
