Maybe you think it sucks, but it's still much better than no search at all. Looking at you HN.

There's a search bar right at the bottom of this page, and it seems to work.

[marcofiset]

Well, TIL. Thanks.

I wasn't aware of the search bar on HN either. Would be nice if it was at the top of the page rather than the bottom.

Me too; this is the first I've heard of it. I guess I never scrolled down enough to see it.

It is provided by YC Company Algolia. Many YC companies leverage the software provided by other YC companies.

If you were a one of the first YC companies and you're core business was to aggregate, curate and influence the development of content. And you weren't able to develop a core service, hypothetically something like search. Maybe you could buy that service from some other company; like Algolia.

Potentially, it would work the same way as HN does. The site they cloned when they pivoted.

Is it though? Reddit is so bad I just us Google and search it indirectly, so it may as well be non-existent.
