> Search bar at the top, thank you! The current location at the bottom is terrible and this would be a welcome addition.

I think this was originally intended to limit it's use. Before they switched to the current search system it was very heavy/slow. Assuming they achieved that end it was brilliant design but terrible UX.

For a long time, it didn't. It was added a couple of years ago. Prior to that, people would attempt to scrape HN, and create separate sites for search / rest api, etc.

Same as drsintoma, I had no idea there was a search bar!

I think that speaks a lot of a non-intuitive placement.
