This is useful. I am tired of typing site:news.ycombinator.com into Google.

  Why dont you use http://www.hnsearch.com/ http://www.hnsearch.com/ ?

  if you use Chrome, you can add new search engine (right click on address bar -> Edit search engines, scroll down till end) and paste this into URL query field: https://www.google.com/search?q=%s+site%3Anews.ycombinator.com https://www.google.com/search?q=%s+site%3Anews.ycombinator.c..., and give it a short name, for example hn. Now you can search Hacker News by typing: "hn search query" into address bar (without "").

    Great tip thanks! Now if I type the letter "n", chrome picks up "news.ycombinator.com", if I press tab second, it goes to search HN, and pressing return second goes to the sites itself. Lovely time saver.
