Ah yes, exactly and thanks for the search tips, I felt like I was misremembering something being unable to find what I was looking for!

Unfortunately for HN, titles make very poor search targets, all the more so because they're often obscure or obscured.

Comments offer a much larger target. Algolia's other features (searching by site or submitter / comment author), as well as obscure stuff like vote counts (submissions only) can be quite helpful.

I mine my own comments frequently, and that's a key benefit of using HN.
