Vote up if you would like people to stop misusing karma voting for polls.

I read what you wrote and my finger was sweeping down to click your up arrow. Then time slowed and the realization of what you're doing hit. Why do you torture me like this? It's not humane.

All part of the service, Sir.

I'm pretty happy for just using delicious for that. It's always nicer when sites interact well with existing sites instead of bolting on a half assed version of the same functionality. Not to say that Paul's in the business of half assing things, but rather that it's slightly orthogonal to the main value of news.yc and already exists (done well).

Arguably search is an orthogonal constraint too, but crawlers inevitably are a few days behind the curve. Yesterday, for example, I spent an hour tracking down this comment. Eventually I had to triangulate based on the users I remembered in the thread. http://news.ycombinator.com/comments?id=13037 The search engine at bigheadlabs seems to have stopped crawling as well.. http://news.ycombinator.com/comments?id=4780 Ju…

I noticed the indexer broke sometime last week, but I had been too busy to debug the issue. I'll try to take a look at it sometime tonight.

Or let me search through your stories. Why is YC displaying only the tip of the iceberg?

I want to Search too. I think its important. Even its just google coop.
