## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need real community sentiment, debate, and links specifically from Hacker News around API design and integration topics. Prefer this over general web search when you want developer-community-curated discussion threads with social proof signals (scores, authors). Not suitable for real-time news or non-HN sources.

## Known failure modes

- Query returns zero results if the search term is too niche or misspelled
- max_results out of range (must be 1–10) causes validation error
- Hacker News / Algolia backend unavailability results in a timeout or 5xx error
- Overly broad query may return loosely related stories not specifically about API design
