I use HN search all the time; it's useful.
There is no way to search across multiple comments on the same "story"; I use Google site search for this.
It only counts replies/"comments" for stories, not comments (which would probably be a lot more work).
It differentiates between plural and singular search terms as very different searches.
The only ranking options are by popularity and date (would like to be able to sort results by number of replies too).
Interesting to compare the automation vs. a manual approach started last month.

increase the fee of a transaction after the fact
Someone should have volunteered to help the Pineapple Fund do this instead of switching to Bitcoin Cash (or maybe this is what "Child-Pays-For-Parent" is, and it cost too much). https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15995391
> Since this created a series of unconfirmed transactions, we had to do something drastic: use Child-Pays-For-Parent with a very significant fee.

The basic option for local lead gen is encouraging happy customers to leave glowing Google reviews.
After that comes paying for AdWords to get those reviews in front of more eyeballs.

Apparently being offline has happened before:
it was down and didn't get back up for at least 200 days
If it takes off, you could do a free 5 minute intro feed + a paid 1 hr detailed feed (which might be enough to satisfy the HN craving while commuting/doing chores/etc.).
I'd recommend trying out assigning numbers to the stories (eg. 1 of 10) as they are introduced to give more separation between stories / comments. Or maybe one voice does the story summary and the other the comments. Without paying close attention it seems to all blend together.
