Just to be sure, you know search isn't going away right? Its now integrated in. I'm not sure an external search is currently needed.
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.
Search is integrated? Where is it?
Scroll all the way down.
Is that a UI design pattern to decrease server load?
There's nothing intrinsically wrong with search in the footer, but it defies 15 years of convention and thus takes a big hit to discoverability.
How long has it existed? How did I miss this?
Yeah I nearly missed it too.
