How is it that 'Hacker News' still doesn't have search?

I don't doubt that you have many other things on your plate but surely there is someone at YC that could do this. Or if nothing else take axod's comment and open it up so that someone on here can do it for you.

Update - Make it part of the Winter YC application. Post the data we need to know and let people write the code for you.

"Make it part of the Winter YC application."

As a way to weed folks out, I guess? Automatic disqualification due to inability to focus on ones own problems?

"... but surely there is someone at YC that could do this ..."

the headcount is pretty low, who? My idea would be to open up the data, release it as RSS, ATOM or XML. Then you could search it yourself.

Are you just saying that because you want to see the Arc specifications? :P
