Then nobody would need to visit the site at all, it'd be completely self-ranking and automated - imagine the productivity improvements in the valley? (Disrupting the web forum industry!)

And I go home and cry into my beer. Again.

https://hn.algolia.com/ does the job pretty well!

Also, you can easily search HN in Chrome: start typing news.ycombinator.com, it will be ready for autocomplete, and it will say in grey text "Press [tab] to search HN". The results show up from algolia. If only there were a way to make the default search order recency instead of popularity — most of my searching is before posting something, to make sure it hasn't already been posted.

Weirdly, the default values for the search url are slightly different from what the Chrome search populates them with. The 'address bar search' defaults 'dateRange' to 'all', whilst the script itself defaults 'dateRange' to 'last24h'. Does anyone know how the Chrome address bar search is implemented?

Strength of Hacker News is the network effect of a diverse, intelligent crowd. It would be hard to replace. A supplemental site tagging it and aiding search has value. Biggest problem I have searching HN, though, is Google mixing up stories and comments. The fix might be as simple as two domains that contain stories and comments cloned from HN, one domain for each, followed by Google Searches within those domains. No…

http://searchhn.com is a small demo we have been building at Searchera ( https://searchera.io )

IMO I find the domain to user facet lookup to be more useful that the tagging option - I am sure you can just deduce tags from that alone on 90% of the submissions - good demo.

Using ML? Why not using just Bayesian filters?

You mean Naive Bayes? Because it can't account for interactions between the effects of multiple words.

Just add some "magic", e.g. per response analysis and inter-response rule-based system.

I think the biggest value proposition of this is the ability to do sub-reddit like filtering on specific tags. As Hacker News grows I think dealing with the number of new submissions would become a bottleneck. During high-traffic times, new submissions sometimes drop of the first 'new' page in around 10 minutes. Of course there is more traffic during these times to upvote good content, but I'm not sure that is better…

Being able to filter out and automatically hide stories from the front page by tag would be lovely. There's just so much stuff I don't care about at all that gets pushed up the front page and takes up residence there, and I'm starting to wear out the "hide" link...
