When I was thinking about my implementation, I didn't think about SearchYC but instead was thinking about scraping the homepage (and its 7 little brothers) for the relevant info and then compare it to the current page. It would remove your concern (besides the initial setup) but would work only for recent stories. (which might be good for some people but not all)

I'll do a bit of cleanup to the extension. Then I'll post the code, so you can change what you like.

The greasemonkey script and chrome extension parse HN's newest items page in addition to searchYC. You could just disable the call to searchYC in the script.
