It's so strange that you say that - I actually initially coded it with this exact idea in mind! The only reason I pivoted to regex queries was that in its initial stage, I would have no questions to serve up - but I think #screech is subtle enough to be integrated when the userbase is there!

Thanks again for the feedback, I really appreciate it!

I think the suggestion is that you first look for questions with the hashtag and then if you don't find any look for questions the way you currently are. That way a small user base can make use of the feature but for everyone else it stays the same.

You should also take a look at youasked.it. They're very similar. I think giving the user a chance to filter questions by topic is a very key feature that is missing right now from your implementation.
