## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to surface real developer community sentiment and discussion around software security topics specifically from Hacker News — ideal for trend research, gauging community reaction to CVEs, or discovering security tooling that practitioners are actively talking about. Prefer this over general web search when Hacker News community signal (scores, authors, timestamps) is specifically valuable.

## Known failure modes

- Query returns zero results if search terms are too niche or HN has no indexed stories matching them
- max_results out of range (below 1 or above 10) causes validation error
- Network or upstream HN search API unavailability returns a service error
- Very broad queries may return loosely relevant results with low signal-to-noise ratio
