I hope you guys find this website useful. I know there are a bunch of other YC searches out there, but we're trying to improve on all of them.
1. nycs.bigheadlabs.com - a good one created by the Disqus guys, but they stopped updating the index quite awhile ago, so all of the search results are stale.
2. trk7.com/yc - Another YC search, but the interface is really confusing.
3. ycsearch.com, Google - Indexes insanely fast and has an excellent relevancy algorithm, but you can't sort by post date or points.
4. Firefox toolbars, etc - I haven't tried them, but I assume it just uses a Google custom search.
5. SearchYC.com - full text searching, 15 minute updates, and a cool user-search feature (try searching for your username (case-sensitive)). We also enable sorting results/submissions/comments by relevancy (sucks), YC points, or post date.
What we really want to do is to start generating some user stats and interesting queries such as "top points per submission", "most linked-to websites", etc. If you're interested in one, post it here!
Anyways, we want you guys (YC users) to help us decide where this goes. The sky's the limit!

The search wouldn't work at all. Then I enabled JavaScript and it seemed to work better. If you need JavaScript, you should advertise that fact. By default I only enable JavaScript for selected sites.
Cool stuff. More than that, I finally get to know who alaskamiller is. I lived in Alaska for 10 years and see him commenting all over the intertubes in the exact same places where I tend to lurk.
