Legend has it only a dragon writer could defeat tptacek on Hacker News.

Also I find it kind of weird that the search box is case-sensitive. HN itself preserves capitalization when rendering usernames to the page, but must not be case sensitive in the backend since the username shows up in URLs.

Yea If I remember correctly, its the backend which is case-sensitive.

Don't worry though. I am still thinking of fixing the case-sensitive issue.

I had gone to run some errands. Right now, how I am thinking of fixing it is via thinking of using algolia api or maybe by having a singular request to news.ycombinator.com itself while still being client side but I have to see if that's possible/what's easier.

Edit: Almost done. I just wanted to see what LLM's might think of it. So wanted to see them (go wild?) [ie. without my bias of algolia api because I was (thinking?) of other ways too also a better thing was that I was procastinating with the implementation a bit] so pasted it.

It* decided that a better response was to lowercase the username fields and then lowercase the input.

I think I had overarchitected a solution and in hindsight, I thought that the idea of lowercasing usernames would've been slow but clickhouse is a beast too.

I think I was almost thinking the same thing too. Going to update the website with case sensitivity pretty quick.
