There is a lot of data on this site, and a few months ago, PG had to do upgrade the server to handle the traffic. If he added search, is it possible that all those queries would kill site performance?

Just put a form in the header that submits directly to searchYC; that would be good enough and would put no strain on HN.
Without an easily accessible link, it's difficult to search content on the site. I've been a member for a long time, and I didn't know that searchYC existed until reading this post (previously I had been using Google, which isn't so great at indexing HN).
