Perhaps just adding a search box to the HN header or footer would help? It would certainly be better than clicking through to Google, then clicking to enter some search terms, then browsing a list of results on a completely different site.
- jackowayed 16y agoThe problem really is that googling with site:news.ycombinator.com or using Search YC isn't a very good approach. Using my raising an angel round example again, say you search "raise angel round" http://searchyc.com/raise%20angel%20round http://searchyc.com/raise%20angel%20round. The results suck. There's an Ask HN that could have been good except that it has no responses. There's an article that sounds potentially useful, except that the link no longer works. And then there's also a lot of things like "Tweetdeck raises an angel round." "Posterous raises an angel round." Totally useless in this case.
