Yesterday I was reading a post regarding who's hiring on HN and it took me some time to find it again. I was really looking for a search bar, but couldn't find one. Why don't HN have a search bar?
Try: <a href="http://www.hnsearch.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.hnsearch.com/</a><p>There is also <a href="http://searchyc.com/" rel="nofollow">http://searchyc.com/</a> but they are currently down.
I guess (but I could easily be in the wrong here) that it just hasn't been high on pg's priority list. As akent said there are alternatives out there, but I guess it would be nice to have duplicate submission detection built-in.
I agree. I'd like to see search functionality added too. It just doesn't make a lot of sense, in my eyes, to not have it on a site like this. It would be infinitely useful on so many different levels.
