Is this a real "update" or did you just create your own unofficial alternative? I thought the original was by the Octopart guys?
Yes this is a real "update", we explain details on our blog post: http://blog.algolia.com/hacker-news-search-algolia/

From that blog, it seems more like a new "alternative" to it rather than an "update" that replaces the existing one, but if it's purely a matter of semantics, I guess that's fine - just making sure I understand it right.
Congrats on getting into YC by the way! :)
Does this mean that Octopart provided search APIs will go away? If so, when?
The set of features is different with for example typo tolerance, if the limit of 1000 entries is a problem, we can increase it.
We have written a blog post about the change if you want more details: http://blog.algolia.com/hacker-news-search-algolia/
That post explains a lot. Thanks!
Is there a way to query on the created_at parameter?
Unfortunately, it's not any more powerful than the previous HNSearch API (search query is limited to 1000 entries: http://hn.algolia.io/api/v1/search?query=pg&hitsPerPage=2000 )
