it's basically unusable for anyone using an auto page loading extension like AutoPatchWork since the auto loaded next page replaces the bottom of the page.
I echo the sentiment of many other HNers. Thank you for all the great work, and the invaluable resource. I can't count how many times it has served me in the past.
I wish you the very best - I am almost expecting something even more kickass out of you guys soon.
SearchYC has actually been tremendously valuable to me and my startups in the past. Hacker News is such a treasure trove of information, anecdotes and friends and your service was the gateway to that.
I used SearchYC as my "google for startups" I honestly cannot reiterate how useful your service was. I wish you'd keep it going as I still use it over the Hacker News Search (habit, more features, search within search results, being able to search for specific comments from users, etc etc.)
A friend was having relationship problems in part due to his startup, and I explicitly remember him saying "I looked on SearchYC and found tons of other posts from founders in the same boat" (this was when you had the curated post categories)
Seriously, thanks. (my startup is kind of in crunch at the moment but I had been meaning to reach out to you guys when I saw your service went offline a few weeks ago, i couldn't let you guys go without me - and probably the majority of the community - giving you guys some thanks and credit)
Speaking of treasure troves, I hope someone outside YC is archiving HN, so that should something happen HN can be restored without depending on YC to be able/willing to restore it.
Of course, I trust YC to have their own backups as well.
Turn it into free software! It would be invaluable to the community and you would get a hell of a reputation for it I think, especially from hackernews users.

[ 4.1 ms ] story [ 128 ms ] threadJust 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.
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.

I've been using SearchYC to archive my comments via the RSS feed. Can I do this some other way?
This will give your 10 most recent comments: http://api.thriftdb.com/api.hnsearch.com/items/_search?filte...
Documentation here to tweak for your needs: http://www.hnsearch.com/api
EDIT: Added filter to return only comments; previously included submissions, too.

Seriously though, all the best, and thanks for all the years of good service!
if you want a maintainer, I am willing to takeover from where you are leaving
You will be able to search for 'geeky news' also on other services than hackernews.
Thanks.
