I like Hacker News a lot. I almost spend 1-2 hrs daily but sometimes I feel it is missing something. For example, I wanted to search for something but there is no search option.<p>Without these also people will come here but may be these features will make life little more easier.<p>What you guys say?
Blockquote. There are many times I would like to do a blockquote and have to either "quote" the quote, <i>italicize</i> the quote, or use<p><pre><code> preformatted quotes.
</code></pre>
Each of the alternatives has drawbacks.<p>I would humbly request pg to add the email convention "> " at the beginning of a line to format as a block quote.<p>> This would be a block quote. It goes on as long as the paragraph goes on. Note that each line does not start with "> " - that would be unnecessary since that is already done with the preformatted syntax.<p>This would no longer be block quoted.
Have you looked at the list of links at the bottom of every page?<p>Particularly "Search", "Feature Requests", and to some extent "Guidelines" and "FAQ"?<p>Meanwhile, here's a shortcut: <a href="http://searchyc.com/" rel="nofollow">http://searchyc.com/</a><p>Certain feature requests are a perennial feature of life on HN. You are carrying on a classic tradition.
