I was hoping it would do full-text search of the text inside the linked pages, like hndex.org but with ranking.
It’s fun to see Bitcoin posts from 2008-2010. I wonder how many bought and are now retired because of them. Seeing recommendations to use MtGox is pretty funny too https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1998144
Seems odd to publish a benchmark against Lucene where your results are "Lucene crashes at 4 concurrent users". Since there are thousands of people using Lucene and products built on Lucene every day, I think the issue may be in your benchmarking code.
I'm curious how this site is compliant with copyright law. I've thought of working on similar projects, but the possibility of being sued has dissuaded me.

Earlier post 2009: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=599852 "Well this is an exceptionally cute idea, but there is absolutely no way that anyone is going to have any faith in this currency." Written by co-founder/CEO of Pachyderm and first employee of RethinkDB none the less.
Full disclosure: I work on a similar fast, typo tolerant, fuzzy search engine search engine called Typesense (https://github.com/typesense/typesense).
Neat but the back button hijacking is not cool.
This kind of thing is enough for me to never want to use a site. If it's a bug, high recommend you fix it, if it's not, highly recommend you reconsider your position.
Yes, it's an annoyance. Yes, sites should fix it. But not ever using a site because of it seems silly when it's literally a half-second longer click.
(Also, for this site I don't actually see the bug. So either they fixed it very rapidly, or GP was just referring to individual searchers being in the history, which is common for any search engine.)
