Example prompt: Search Hacker News for the top 5 discussions about monitoring and observability tools, especially ones involving startup founders — I want to see titles, links, scores, and who posted them.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to surface community discussion and sentiment specifically from Hacker News about monitoring and observability tools — particularly valuable for understanding what startup founders and engineers are actively debating. Prefer it over generic web search when you want structured HN metadata (scores, authors, timestamps) rather than raw web results, or when you want to track trending developer community conversations about DevOps tooling.

## Known failure modes

- Empty results if no matching HN stories exist for the query
- max_results out of range (must be 1–10) returns validation error
- HN Search API unavailability causes upstream timeout or empty response
- Overly broad or irrelevant query may return low-quality story matches
