If the goal of the 'Show HN' is general feedback on the site from HN users (as opposed to lead generation regarding GSA vendors) then the requirement for an email to sign-up is working at cross purposes to the goal.
I clicked on the link I thought would take me to the tool but got a request for email instead. Maybe it's not clear enough to random visitors how to access the tool.
Now that I've revisited, I found the search field. I probably missed it because it appears below a paragraph of text and over a horizontal rule and is grey.
My advice: make it look more like Google for GSA: less explanation on the landing page [that can be linked]. If I hit a page that said 'Search GSA Vedors' above a textbox way above a few links at the bottom, I would get it because the search results show what the product does much better than the text tells what it does.
