Algolia DevRel here. An amazing dev named Jeff Slentz did a full rewrite about a year ago, which is what the current search runs on.
The new search is currently in a private repo, but I can see about getting it turned public if people would like to peruse the code.

Hmm, I've been getting "Algolia API failed" on Harmonic for the past day, was wondering what could be going on.

Is there a place to get an archive of all HN posts and historical comments?

This isn't 'archived' - it's just the source code of HN Search. And place for reporting problems, like back in August when it wasn't ingesting data briefly
