When I saw the title, I imagined that this was a service that let you receive notifications when certain strings were in Hacker News article titles.

The code I provided doesn't let you receive notifications when certain strings were in Hacker News article titles but you could certainly fork it and modify the code to do just that. If you do, please share the version here so we can all use it.

TBH this would be a good thing for you, as the developer, to do - "we added 5 lines of code and now it searches for a specific title" etc.

Right - this is more parallel to the service offered by Google Alerts.
