Google would only search the discussion threads, and not the content on the website. What I'm pushing for, is we can easily extract a 'credible' subset of the web and only search that web. That subset is the set of links that HNers have posted to HN, sorted in priority by the number of votes they have returned. Also, as danso mentioned, HNsearch could use some function of points and date, to rank the results.
