I wrote this because I wanted to look for some old articles which were no longer listed. I started crawling News YC over night at a slow rate, and it is still going, so many of the latest links and comments are not indexed yet.

I threw the code together, so feel free to report any bugs you encounter. However, I won't have time to touch this for the next few days.

I imagine at some time News YC will have a search feature implemented (it may even be today with all the recent changes), so Paul, let me know if you want this removed.

Wow; my slight annoyance at having someone write software I wish I was writing (instead of working on my damned talk for startup school) is outweighed by how impressed I am at your initiative. Plus it's actually useful...
