Comment on Tell HN: I hate your fuzzy search

Comments

another potential frustration is that HN (algolia) search also includes in the results any submission or comment by usernames/handles that match the keyword. ..so if a frequent commenter / poweruser matches your search term it becomes very messy to sift through unless you script/ublock out their matching sections

depending on the search intent it could potentially be useful, but a built in excluder option would be great for casual searchers that dont want their criterion to match handles
