Poll: HNSearch Contest Voting

I love "HN Trends by sant0sk1", but it really needs to normalize for the change in traffic over time. Instead of a raw number of points, it should be a percentage of all points, otherwise, all graphs look like this:

  |         /
  |       /
  |     /
  |   /
  | /

I just pushed a change which adjusts the results to account for HN's growth. Let me know what you think!

Agreed. HNTrends by qF looks pretty nice. If only it allowed you to compare multiple keywords. Looks like trends is a common theme with it showing up in http://ianburris.com/hnsearch/ too.

yep, just submitted my hn trends entry here: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2673357

I tried the vs thing to allow multiple things to be compared but tbh it didn't really add a lot on the comparrisons I tried out. I went for giving a summary of the top stories for the search term instead with an indication of where the big discussions were.

You can compare multiple keywords. Just separate by commas.
