- hobs 13y agoSame, searching HN is no "hack" unless it was done in a novel or interesting way. This might even be a cool hack, but I dont know!
- wslh 13y agoI hacked HNSearch in the formal way in this article: http://blog.databigbang.com/ideas-and-execution-magic-chart/ http://blog.databigbang.com/ideas-and-execution-magic-chart/ python code is also here: https://gist.github.com/srw/1360455 https://gist.github.com/srw/1360455 Basically I could search beyond the HNSearch limits. The article is from 2011 so I don't know if it's working now.
- redox_ 13y agoNice post, I'll release the rails4-based source code before the end of the week. Hopefully with a blog post explaining the underlying ranking algorithm.
- redox_ 13y agoI'll write a blog post about it in a few days. Thx for the feedback
