Are you intercepting URLs typed in the address bar and reverting back to your own site or is Chrome being weird?
Yes I've noticed the same strange issues using Chrome. Working on it.

#22This is really great, love the speed.
Where does the comment karma come from? Doesn't seem like you can get it by crawling HN directly.
Re: HN Search Updated
#23I m a search engineer among other things. New update is weird, especially ranking. try 'machine learning', gets something from a year ago then Stanford class from 2011, really ? If you re dealing with 10M entries in the index this is low enough that ranking should be better.
I know how perfect tuning these engine as is difficult, and this one requires some more work ;) good luck and congrats for YC 14 anyways!
Re: HN Search Updated
#24love it! The speed is amazing. One minor nitpick would be to improve the experience on mobile. The search works great, but the display is hard to read. Really nice work though!

For now, the ranking is only based on the number of points/comments of an item. We're actually working on a way to include the freshness of a post. Thanks for the support ;)
Re: HN Search Updated
#26Wow that was really unexpected!
- IMHO it does not fit in the spartanic style of HN (which I like!)
- there is no "search by date" which I use very often
Is there still an old version of search available?
Re: HN Search Updated
#27How do I sort by date or votes? Filter comments or posts?
Re: HN Search Updated
#28I miss the old version, as it made it possible to search stories/users/etc., and fit with the design of the site.
Re: HN Search Updated
#29Where is the "order by time" functionality. This is pretty much useless now for searching old stuff you recall. I still use Google "site:news.ycombinator.com keyword" query to search on HN as many of those homemade search engines are not handling synonyms and plurals etc well.

solr/ES would do that almost out of the box. how does your stuff differ or make it simpler (besides cloud) ?
