32 months is apparently how long it took to roll out a search functionality on Techmeme, at least that’s what Gabe Rivera says, somewhat jokingly, in his launch post. I’ve missed the functionality myself at times.
A very simple search box is in the top right on Techmeme, while there’s a dedicated search page as well.
TechCrunch reports that the sister sites, being WeSmirch, Memeroandum, and Ballbug, will get the search functionality “soon”. Another 32 months then, Gabe?
