Show HN: I made this search engine for Reddit using Bing+Reddit API.

I can't PM you for some reason, must be my low karma. I found a reflected XSS vulnerability since it doesn't really matter for this site, I'll paste it here, I hope you don't mind.Just html encoding the <, >, &, " characters will fix it.

Thanks, I'd forgotten to escape the search string in the title element.

Thank you for doing this. Much like http://www.searchreddit.com/, this is cool but missing a lot of data and features.

Thanks for the feedback :).

I just noticed that I'm seeing a 30-40% failure while using the API - is there any reason that should be so ? I'm batching around 20-30 ids together (as recommended).

Email me your IP (jedberg@reddit.com) and we'll see if we can figure it out.

I have tried searching Reddit several times for an article I read last week - to no avail. It was result #4 in your search results. Thanks!

You, sir, have done a great public service.

I couldn't agree more. Well done. Any plans on releasing the source? I've been looking to play with AppEngine for a project just like this.

Thanks.

About releasing, I'll clean the code up and share it when I have time.

Just a FYI - reddit allows me 1 request/2 seconds - so a lot of queries may only return Bing data (no score/comments etc)

just a heads up, I'm getting a BadQueryError if my search term contains an apostrophe.

seems to work great, thanks.

any chance of changing the link color? too much red.
