Now that you mention it, I hardly ever see HN results on Google. Not that I would necessarily expect to — or maybe I’ve just learned to not expect them to.
But there is quality content here that doesn’t seem to show up in search the way Reddit and Stackoverflow content often show up in search.
Have dang/others looked into SEO? Or maybe it’s explicitly not a priority?
I've actually been surprised how quickly HN is indexed. When I see comments about a seemingly niche thing, I often google for more details - and often enough the comment that made me google it is among the top results.
