I'm legitimately terrified that you're going to replace HNSearch, and that therefore HNSearch may be shut down.
Using your version, I get the feeling you've never used HNSearch extensively, or at least not in the way a power user would. We at HN are power users. We need a minimum of glitter and a maximum of features. But there's not even a basic feature like by:tptacek.
I'm getting the vibe that you care more about testing your ideas than delivering features, otherwise there wouldn't be nonfeatures like image thumbnails. I would love to be wrong about that.
At a minimum, your search engine must be capable of most of what HNSearch was capable of. A simple test is: are you able to search for all of PG's downvoted comments? It should be possible to specify the search parameters: "comments only. Author: pg. sort by points. Sort ascending."
