I'm guessing this came out of DuckDuckHack?

This is one that I don;t really like, since the !hn hashbang already exists that will take a user to hnsearch.com

Can't find what I'm looking for.

I saw a comment on a hn BitCoin article. The comment said that we've got 100 years of experience with [this type of monetary system], and we know how to break it, and then he listed a bunch of trading algorithms, including one (I'm pretty sure) named "sawtooth".

Tried: hn duckduckgo sawtooth bitcoin :|

Yes, thank you.

The search feature on HN is not as good as it could be.

Reddit needs this badly.

Their search provider was acquired and closed doors recently. The new engine has a weird syntax.
