Yeah, just popped up on google news, not more than a rumor, but I thought to post it nevertheless. EDIT: And this is a duplicate (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2234776 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2234776) Any chance of getting a search function into HN?

  Thanks, but this is not "live" enough. I'd vote for an integrated search rather than relying on external services with unknown cache intervals.

  Nevermind, I'll create one myself.. I always wanted a better feed view of HN. I guess grouped by automatically derived tags and instant live-update could improve on that matter.

There is search. As I say in my other, longer reply, there's SearchYC and there's the link at the bottom of every page. But people won't search. No one will bother. People will just submit the link and if it's a duplicate, who cares? It's too much work to see if anyone has submitted the same thing in the past few minutes, let alone the last few hours, or days, or weeks.

  No, but if something interesting just pops up you simple don't have the time to search but the first few recent new-pages before someone else will post. EDIT: Well yes, people don't search, it should be done automatically ;]

If someone else posts it, good for them. And it only takes about 30 seconds to run a SearchYC query, and about 30 seconds to scan the last two or three "newest" pages. One minute isn't long to wait. And what if every time you submitted the system went and tried to deduce what to search for, presented you with its results, and made you check them before submitting. How would that feel. Maybe that would be an improvement. If it worked.

      > Maybe that would be an improvement. If it worked. Exactly, that's a very good idea, and easily implemented. Concerning search, which should be integrated nevertheless, I'm not used to do things again and again if I can automate it, it's just not my thing and if forced I'd rather not post again than doing it (which would maybe not be all that bad ;). My point is that it's easy to implement for YC, simple filters and keyword search, c'mon, if I can do it, they can do it, I'll definitely create a prototype..
