How do I search through pages linked from HN?

Question

Most of the posts here on HN are links to pages on other web sites. How do I find pages featuring particular words among these?E.g. I'd like to find an article on digital signal and processing which probably had the words like "signal" and "filter" in its text but all I can remember about the title used on HN is that it probably didn't feature either.

The search feature on HN offers custom options for a variety of metrics.
One tactic I use is to search on words in some comment I left in the discussion. If I search on my HN name, words I probably don't use overly much and check comments, I can frequently find it.
Sometimes, fiddling with the time frame helps. If I have some hand wavy idea of when I read it and not enough other info, I will resort to playing with that element of the search engine.
It's tedious, but sometimes results in successfully finding what I was looking for.
