    Command-T gives you similar functionality in Vim. It's great. https://github.com/wincent/Command-T

    An Argentinian here. I honestly believe the current government is, in many ways, the best this country has had for the past 30 years (at least), even taking into account its many a…

    I think a better title would be "Find the best templating engine for your Javascript project". Lazy bug report: if you switch options too fast (probably while the fadeout/in is sti…

    Not an extension, but: http://finderr.org Disclaimer: I made that, but I gain nothing from its usage and don't collect any private information (like the search terms).

    I'm not the original poster, but MoinMoin is widely considered mature and featureful. I'm guessing they had a good reason not to use it; it may be worth asking them.

    I hope criticizing the link itself isn't considered trolling here (I'm still new), but what I see here is an article that is 90% a quote from a different article and 10% pretty uni…

    Pro tip: after you paste code, it might not be indented correctly in the new context. You can select just pasted lines and autoindent them with V`]=. This should fix the indentatio…

    With the risk of sounding naive or out of place - am I the only one surprised at this idea raising $2.5m? Not that the site isn't cool and well done, but I can't figure out how dev…

    Thanks for the feedback! I fixed the handling of quotes. I'm not currently adding 'allintext:' to the search but I do add &nfpr=1 to the query string, which as far as I can tell fr…

    You can append &nfpr=1 to the query string to make it more strict. That's what http://finderr.org does.

    I did just that, thanks for the input. I actually went ahead and discarded the actual query strings being used; so I'm now logging access times, referrers and user agents only. I a…

    I'm glad someone finds it helpful! I used web.py, by the way. I'm not sure how to go about the log configuration. If the users prefer it I can just disable logging altogether, alth…

    I put together http://finderr.org and use that as a search service exactly because of this. I don't keep IPs in the logs of the server.

    You can always use what I call "old school" sharing - just copy & paste the relevant URL in a status update.

    Beware that this may break apps that use SSH as a transport protocol (like rsync and mercurial, depending on your setup of course).

    I put together this very simple app using web.py to automatically quote the terms in Google web searches. I was fed up with Google silently discarding terms in error messages and o…

    Well, I can't edit this anymore but I decided to give it a shorter URL so it's more convenient (I had one free anyway): http://finderr.org Hope someome finds it useful!

    I made this in an hour or so when learning the web.py basics. It's running on mod_wsgi. Very simple but it's something I find relatively useful (it forces Google not to ever discar…

    Ask HN: Is there a way to make Google web search work like it used to?

    Hi HN community. I, the same, as pretty much everyone, used to very much enjoy Google's way of doing web search. With that I mean the old way of only listing results that contained…
