Ask HN: Why doesn't HN have a Search Bar

38 points| antonioe | 15 years ago | reply

I've been forced to use site:news.ycombinator.com in Google. Could you just use Google CSE (http://www.google.com/cse/). Just a suggestion. I am probably the 20th person asking for this. Let me do search...dohhh...

It's in the works.

Is there any reason why you don't simply give your stamp of approval to http://searchyc.com ?? I use it constantly, and it's great.

Don't forget DuckDuckGo. HN has several !bang aliases tied into SearchYC: !searchyc !newsyc !yc !hackernews !hn

there is - go to google.com - enter "site:news.ycombinator.net <search term>"

cheers!

How about Favorite? So you can save some interesting postings and comments...

I don't think there is anything for comments, but for favorite posts, look at "saved" in your profile. It isn't quite the same feature, but works as a lesser favorite.
