Adding "site:news.ycombinator.com" to the search string in a google search works for me....

Other search engines are available.

An in-site search feature wouldn't be a bad idea, though...

That's been requested a few times already. Normally I'd grumpily write "search the archives before posting feature requests", but, wel...

I totally agree with you. For a hacker site like this, the absence of built-in search feature is something outrageous.

Sometimes I just want to check whether the story/news has been submitted or not. Doing this on Google is really frustrating and can lead me to the wrong result. So don't blame for any duplicated stories sent by me.

That's nice, but are you really having to add a browser plugin to search a site isn't a really an ideal solution is it?

It's a lot better than nothing.

Also, this is the official plugin: http://plugin.searchyc.com/
