Feel free to ignore the 'hnsearch' link at the bottom of the page, the links RoG gave are much better.
It's costs server time to create a search index, as well as coding time, and even then you'll always do a worse job than google can when ranking. On a public site, adding a google custom search box is far easier and better
Which is the real question - why no custom search box on hn?
Just do site:news.ycombinator.com on google
