## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to quickly surface real community discussion and founder perspectives on database selection or migration from Hacker News, rather than crawling HN manually or using generic web search. It is ideal for research agents synthesizing developer community opinions, trend analysis on database technology choices, or competitive intelligence on how startups approach data infrastructure decisions.

## Known failure modes

- Query returns zero results if the search terms are too narrow or niche
- max_results out of range (below 1 or above 10) causes validation error
- Hacker News Algolia API downtime results in no data returned
- Overly broad queries may return loosely related stories rather than on-topic database discussions
- Payment failure via x402 protocol results in 402 response before search executes
