suggestion: show some examples. I honestly have no clue what should I input on the search field.
Agreed. My first attempt was http://wwpgd.com/?q=how+do+you+cook+steak%3F , and nothing came up. I guess I don't know who Paul Graham is yet.
PG would probably go to wwpgd.com to find out what to do.
pg would probably use logic, experience and a little bit of gut feel to figure out the best way to solve an issue, not refer to a single source of someone else's writings. Stop worshiping the man like he is a god. His essays are not bible scripture, and in many areas they would actually be the completely wrong course of action to take. pg's thoughts are only one segment of knowledge that a person should be receiving…
A mistake, I agree.
PG is the philosopher-king of HN.
nice litte app :) I don't why some people are bashing this, I think its actually useful. I especially like the idea of what would X do, and then having a searchable repository of links to X's writings/ideas/thoughts. Also as a side note, since your using bootstrap why not just fluid it so it looks nice on iPad and mobile, that would be the icing on this nifty little cake :)

This is just the worst kind of critique. This is a useful tool, I often find myself searching for something I had read that PG had said and having a difficult time. He's written a great deal, this is extremely useful.

This is a great way to search through paulgraham.com as well as his comments on HN. I'm a fan and I'm certain to find utility in it in the future.

Why are you assuming they are worshiping him? They simply made a fun little app to search through his essays. Your comment seems rather ill-tempered and misplaced. Did you even try the app out or are you just on a rant about how you don't think people should make decisions based on the information of a single source? Either way, I'm not sure how your comment is a helpful contribution to this particular link.
I really think HN has a habit of taking everything uber-seriously and has a hard time accepting things as light-hearted jokes or fun projects.
It appears to work. I asked it where to go for lunch, and the first reference to lunch it found was Oren's Hummus.
