A decent search system-- I'd very much like to be able to do searches which combine date range and/or poster and/or post/poster being replied to and/or string.

Many sites have a hard time with this. It may be that it is just a hard thing to do.

The google groups advanced search would work as a starting template. I'd add choices for main vs. discussion and post vs. comment.

I find searchyc.com very useful for searching Hacker News. Specifically, switching the results page to "sort by date posted" to find submissions and comments that were posted within the last week or 2.

The source code for searchyc however is not freely redistributable (open source).
