Tell HN: SearchYC.com should be given a link or search box on the HN homepage

If PG doesn't know how to implement this feature he can ask nickb who has it over on http://www.newmogul.com which is built on the same software.

;-)

At the very least you could replace the link to "HNSearch" in the footer.

Every few months I click on it having forgotten that a completely useless 'social' firefox extension is on the other end.

Adds a search box for searchyc.com (http://is.gd/2bdCp), among other cool things. :)

Doesn't really help new users though. And searchyc.com can do a lot more than Google search.

A poll might provide more useful results (how many people would want this vs. how many people would not)

I am new to this but always wondered about the non-existent search functionality? What is the rationale behind not having it? I can see that the news is archived because you can find it, then why not have a search on the news page itself?
