I hope you guys find this website useful. I know there are a bunch of other YC searches out there, but we're trying to improve on all of them.<p>1. nycs.bigheadlabs.com - a good one created by the Disqus guys, but they stopped updating the index quite awhile ago, so all of the search results are stale.<p>2. trk7.com/yc - Another YC search, but the interface is really confusing.<p>3. ycsearch.com, Google - Indexes insanely fast and has an excellent relevancy algorithm, but you can't sort by post date or points.<p>4. Firefox toolbars, etc - I haven't tried them, but I assume it just uses a Google custom search.<p>5. SearchYC.com - full text searching, 15 minute updates, and a cool user-search feature (try searching for your username (case-sensitive)). We also enable sorting results/submissions/comments by relevancy (sucks), YC points, or post date.<p>What we really want to do is to start generating some user stats and interesting queries such as "top points per submission", "most linked-to websites", etc. If you're interested in one, post it here!<p>Anyways, we want you guys (YC users) to help us decide where this goes. The sky's the limit!<p>Happy New Year's!
Just tried your site with Opera <p><pre><code> Version 9.50 Beta
Build 4506
Platform MacOS X
System 10.5.1
</code></pre>
The search wouldn't work at all. Then I enabled JavaScript and it seemed to work better. If you need JavaScript, you should advertise that fact. By default I only enable JavaScript for selected sites.
Cool stuff. More than that, I finally get to know who alaskamiller is. I lived in Alaska for 10 years and see him commenting all over the intertubes in the exact same places where I tend to lurk.
