If 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

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.
