The API is available at https://hn.algolia.io/api Unfortunately, it's not any more powerful than the previous HNSearch API (search query is limited to 1000 entries: http://hn.algolia.io/api/v1/search?query=pg&hitsPerPage=2000 )

The set of features is different with for example typo tolerance, if the limit of 1000 entries is a problem, we can increase it. We have written a blog post about the change if you want more details: http://blog.algolia.com/hacker-news-search-algolia/

That post explains a lot. Thanks! Is there a way to query on the created_at parameter?

Is this a real "update" or did you just create your own unofficial alternative? I thought the original was by the Octopart guys?

Yes this is a real "update", we explain details on our blog post: http://blog.algolia.com/hacker-news-search-algolia/

Some things that are missing include (as far as I can tell): karma totals for comments, sort by karma/date, syntax to limit search for {stories, comments}
