Comment on Ask PG: What's the deal with search on HN?

Comments

PG: How about creating a competition for making the best search for news.ycombinator.com?

Potential way it could be arranged: E.g. require that participants have their yc name as part of the user agent string while crawling and that they are allowed to maximum crawl 1000-10000 threads(with all comments) and create search for that. Or perhaps create a recent dataset with stories/threads so all participants have the same data.

Potential price for the winner: Serve search on news.ycombinator.com for one year?
