Now that YCNews has grown and has a lot of valuable resources and discussions, it's probably time to have a search feature. How about it YCNews? It'll also reduce the chances of posting the same questions again.
P.S. If this has been requested before, I apologize ;)
This seems to work well, but am I correct in thinking that it's been a while since the last crawl? Any plans for upkeep?
I haven't read yc.news very regularly until recently, but I'm starting to post more, and I hate being that guy who asks the same questions -- a search function would definitely be useful for us late adopters.
I emailed Daniel and Jason a few days ago. Daniel says they hope to make some improvements to the search in the future, I requested more filtering, e.g. by poster's name. He said Jason would know if it was behind in indexing -- I thought it was.

So, how about a text box on the YCNews home page that posts to this URL? Or, at least, a link somewhere for those who didn't know that this existed?
Googling with the option "site:news.ycombinator.com" works adequately, but just doesn't have the same panache.
pg: Please add a search feature. The search feature is the one thing that's most missing from here.
Its because they don't have one!!!
