I'm going to build a general-purpose hacker-new-to-sqlite search ... command, where one of the options is to search within the URL.

Prototype:

curl "https://hn.algolia.com/api/v1/search_by_date?query=simonwillison.net&restrictSearchableAttributes=url&hitsPerPage=1000" | \
  jq .hits | sqlite-utils insert hn.db items - --pk objectID --alter

The other option here is the HN Search API powered by Algolia, documented at https://hn.algolia.com/api
