I’m not sure why people hate Reddit search so much. I’ve never used it much, but when I have, it’s been fine over the last decade or whatever.
The narrative is so strong though, I’m not sure how you could defeat that without creating a radically different solution that derails the narrative.
- faizshah 6y agoI’ve been using reddit since around 2012 and throughout that time I rarely used Reddit’s search mainly because it didn’t search through comments in a post to score relevance. The only times I would use Reddit’s search was if I remembered some words or phrases in the posts title and I had a specific post in mind I was looking for. I’m also pretty sure that back then the relevance of search results in general using Reddit’s search was far inferior to site:reddit.com specifically in query expansion (synonyms & misspellings in particular). I only started using Reddit’s search recently because of changes to google that make reddit search results have incorrect times.
- FalconSensei 6y agoI hate that in the new design, when I'm IN a specific subreddit, there's no way to limit search to that specific subreddit. After the search is done, it'll show a link do only display results from inside that subreddit, but 100% of the time I'm in a subreddit, I want results from that subreddit. Edit: adding that because of the search, and lack of managing multi-reddits, I'm still using the old reddit with the RES extension
