Actually, there is already an "HNSearch" image and link in the footer of each page. It's to the right of the "Green" image. Nobody seems to notice it, maybe we should make it pink?


no, make it a form field with a button next to it, that submits to http://searchyc.com/.


For what it's worth, Xichekolas's Greasemonkey script adds such a field and button, as well as doing several other useful things.

I periodically google search with site:news.ycomb..


But that's a link to a FF extension, not a search page.

This would make it easier to find for me, since I tend to ignore logos at the bottom of webpages.

EDIT: On second thought, maybe at the top would be better:

I installed it.

And then turned it off after a minute of playing with it.

If I want to find HN discussion of a particular URL then it doesn't really help - and I don't want HN links turning up every time I google for something.
