Depends on how you define a "good" way, but surely https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&query=AnIdiotOnTheNet%20package%20manager&sort=byDate&type=comment https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que... -- and the possible permutations of search terms and filtering and ordering -- isn't all that bad?
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 5y agoYou must admit that having it hosted on a different domain and apparently not linked to from anywhere (at least as far as I can see) makes it pretty undiscoverable. That said, I had a hunch complaining about it would bring someone out who had a better solution than I did, and it worked, so thanks.
- Jtsummers 5y agoIt's not directly linked, but it is where the search box at the bottom of every page will take you. Algolia was a YCombinator company and since, at the time, HN had no built-in search they piggybacked on them to add the capability.
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 5y agoHoly crap, I have never in my life noticed that search box.
- junon 5y agoTIL there's a search box on HN.
- jeddy3 5y agoWow. There IS a search box, how have I missed that?
- CRConrad 5y agoHeheheheh... Not one, but three people. But yeah, it is funny how it's kind invisible down there.
