Instead of shutting down, can't you hand it off to someone? Please!

  Seconded. I'd be happy to provide time+resources. Ideally, you should just open-source the code.

  Instead of shutting down, can't you hand it off to someone? Please! Just to be sure, you know search isn't going away right? Its now integrated in. I'm not sure an external search is currently needed.

    Yes. I just like SearchYC a lot.

      I liked the fact you could just type "searchyc.com/$queryString" and it would give the results.
      • mestudent 15y ago
        That is the way I use it, much better than the new one that requires javascript to do everything.

    Search is integrated? Where is it?
    • JshWright 15y ago
      Scroll all the way down.

        Is that a UI design pattern to decrease server load? There's nothing intrinsically wrong with search in the footer, but it defies 15 years of convention and thus takes a big hit to discoverability.

          How long has it existed? How did I miss this?
          • jmatt 15y ago
            Yeah I nearly missed it too. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2619736 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2619736

        it's basically unusable for anyone using an auto page loading extension like AutoPatchWork since the auto loaded next page replaces the bottom of the page.

  Or open source it? I was always really impressed by the results that SearchYC produced. I'm itching to have a look at what's under the hood.

  + 1. I also depend on searchyc's RSS feeds for specific searches. They're super helpful for keeping on top of specific projects.
