SearchYC is shutting down • Hacker News Board

Thank you for creating and maintaining SearchYC these last few years. I used it more than any site except, well, HN. (My apologies for the server load.)

SearchYC has been an invaluable tool for me. It's easily tripled the value I've gotten from Hacker News.

Thank you for all your work on it.

Yes. I just like SearchYC a lot.

I liked the fact you could just type "searchyc.com/$queryString" and it would give the results.

That is the way I use it, much better than the new one that requires javascript to do everything.

I'm sad to see it go. I use it every week when creating my Hacker Newsletter and since it has been down I've had a hard time using HNSearch as effectively. Search really was just one component to it, it also had a great way to browse Ask HN threads.

What did SearchYC give you over a google search like "site:news.ycombinator.com "?
