Ask HN: Could Hacker News become a search engine?

There is a search bar by algolia at the bottom of the page, but could there be a way to directly offer hacker news with a different interface like that of a search engine - a/b test?

HN already has an index of curated articles for over 13 years... and it has better sources and vetting than Google without commercial interests.

Just curious, what will be the interest for this prototype? I care about truth without monetary influence and I am tired of ads in my search results because there is no better alternative...No, DDG does not cut it.
