"... I was wondering if anyone had made a search engine which searched through submissions, comments, ect. ..."

This is a good question & wonder why it isn't on the menubar at the top. Try http://www.searchyc.com/ excellent in every way.

I was using it, and it inspired the question. It's a great search, and I use it all the time, but I have to remember a title name or something of the sort to use it vs. part of the article.

There is, if previous threads are to believed, a very little bit of drama about searchyc.

The reason it's not there is because WebMynd (a YC company) supposedly does the same thing. Ofcourse you could get searchYC on HN using this greasemonkey script: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/25039

At the bottom of your page in the middle in color is HNSearch.

I usually use Google with "site:news.ycombinator.com." For example, to search for "iPad" on Hacker News, Google "iPad site:news.ycombinator.com."
