Motivated by the part:
> Perhaps the best measure of this problem is how often I have to append the search terms "reddit" or "site:reddit.com" to a query. Increasingly this is the only way to find the opinions of people who aren't being paid to give them.
in the recent HN post about search being about metadata analysis, I tried looking for search engines that search only in forums/discussion boards. (The site:reddit trick is probably going to become less useful in the future, given that more people are using it and hence it has become a prime target to be gamed.) This one is pretty decent, at least as an alternative set of results to increase your chance of finding the answer you're looking for. If you know any other search engines like this, please mentions those too in the comments here.
