Oh, that's the Hacker News site search... Works fine for me, except I always switch from "results by Relevance" to "Results by date", as in "Has this been posted already...?"
Did not know Google is discontinuing its custom search engine. Looks like there may be a business opportunity here.
- bushin 9y agoYou can switch to experimental UI.
- f_allwein 9y agothanks - I saw the options page also has an option for "most recent first", so I gave that a try.
- SilasX 9y agoI want to do "search comments by popularity" a lot but it doesn't seem like they're actually ordering it -- does Algolia have access to comment ratings? Does HN expose that to anyone?
- ekzy 9y agoIf you want to know if something has already been posted on hacker news and are using chrome, I've made an extension for that purpose. It's a reverse lookup that uses algolia search. It's not perfect but I use it daily and solves this problem https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/hacker-news-lookup/ekfmfhhfalhmiacchemmhapffjaolffo https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/hacker-news-lookup... Hope you find it useful
- gknoy 9y agoWow, that is awesome! Thanks for making that!
- adjkant 9y agoWhy does the extension need browser history permissions? I see it states it does not use it, so curious what it's needed for. Cool idea regardless, just curious.
- ekzy 9y agoIt's not used. I just need access to the current tab url and the ability to open tabs, but I am not sure how to require less permission... The manifest file looks like this: "permissions": [ "tabs", "https://hn.algolia.com/" ] See: https://github.com/jazzytomato/hnlookup/blob/master/resources/release/manifest.json https://github.com/jazzytomato/hnlookup/blob/master/resource... Thanks for the heads up, I will investigate.
