> Let's try and fix it? Would you join a hackathon if there was one? IMO, it's one of the least pressing features to be fixed, as external searches usually work well enough. For years many sites had a frame with a textbox for a 3d-party search and it worked just fine. BTW, do you know Hacker News doesn't have a built-in search function? Fixing post rendering and UI bugs, providing user history, lifting editing-time limits and maybe allowing to see new posts in threads you participate in are far more urgent. I wholeheartedly agree with @exelotl, especially on the SPA point. A forum should always render the contents with JS completely disabled.
