Love it. Replacing the google search for HN (the search hyperlink at the bottom of this page), with this one would be nice.

#12I get only 4 results for node.js
You get only 4 results for everything - i think that's the limit.

#13How about you collaborate with http://searchyc.com and use their index with this interface?

#14This is awesome. I love seeing what people can build in a short period of time, and you know that this was just a couple of days.
Good job, Tam.

#15This is the best one yet - I can actually see myself using this. It's hard to know what terms people have used on HN when searching for something. The Ask HN archives are a brilliant resource.
I like the idea to, but querying searchyc.com for 'ask hn' ends up being much more effective. The concept is great, and I'm sure the execution will keep improving.
The thing I'm most impressed with is the awesome domain name.

Unlikely. I know you're trying to make a joke but I'd see YC point him to one of their start-ups long before they'd hire him themselves.
And start-ups generally do not offer six figure salaries.

#19Can I ask where did You get information on all HN submissions? Did You just scrape the web site for all IDs from 0 to 1683584 or so?

I'd love that. They'd need to significantly speed Search YC up for that to work though. A search that doesn't require hitting enter but takes 5 seconds to give results isn't very satisfying.
I really love Search YC, but it's so slow. I wonder if we could do some kind of kickstarter campaign to get them better infrastructure (assuming better infrastructure would fix it without significant code optimizations). Or maybe someone could donate servers? Maybe lsc, since he runs a hosting company, though his margins are probably fairly low even without giving away hosting.
And even if it needs optimizations, if they OSSed it, I bet HN users could make that happen too.
