       | Just felt I'd share an alternative approach which uses no text
       | search:
       | 
       | https://hnprofile.com/
       | 
       | We only use the context of the discussion around an article. You
       | can search profiles as well.

       | Matt Covalt[1] posted[2] about his brilliant https://hndex.org/,
       | a "full-text search engine of articles submitted to HN" last
       | week. This is basically the same, but the results update as you
       | type, in real time.
       | 
       | Thanks to arc-in-space for the idea[3].

       | I was pondering last week as to what it would take to build this.
       | Very useful. Kudos :)
       | 
       | What is the monetary model behind this. My reason for asking is
       | what would it take to keep this up long term.

         | The links (URLs) in the comments (references) are more

         | 
         | Idea for project: Filter the HN comments for URLs, dedupe,
         | retrieve content, and include in hndex.
         | 
         | hndex seems easy enough to copy. There should be mirrors.
         | 
         | There should be many HN articles that are no longer accessible
         | at their original locations. Does hndex use archive.org in
         | these cases?

       | Cool concept. I wish it had some filters to only show posts with
       | X votes, date, etc since right now a lot of noise posts are
       | filling up the search.
