And "Reddit" is probably added to most searches on Google.
- citboin 5y agoSeriously, Reddit should integrate googles search bar. Reddit’s default search results SUCK 100% of the time.
- oars 5y agoI 100% agree with you.
- RistrettoMike 5y agoI've been shocked how consistently this improves the quality of search results. Searching something like "get new cats to adjust to one another" on Google returns nothing but list-icle, SEO-laden crap with incredibly low information density and no mention of personal experience with the search subject from the ethereal "author" of such posts. Adding site:reddit.com does wonders, but even just typing "get new cats to adjust to one another *reddit* " will return threads going back almost a decade with loads of suggestions, personal experience, and more. It's not always useful (not anywhere near everything on reddit is worth being sourced) but just chucking the word reddit into search seems to be the most straightforward way to dredge up actual user-generated content that's not 100% crap. Wish there were search engines designed to crawl more of that side of the internet and less of Google's schlocky results. I'm so sick of list-icles.
- johnaspden 5y agoThat's a good tip. I just speculatively typed "!r cats adjust" into the search thingy in firefox and got lots of nice reddit threads. Someone somewhere (probably duckduckgo) thinks 'search on reddit' is useful enough that there's a shortcut for it.
- schmorptron 5y agotheres tens of thousands of !bangs on DDG, its really useful when you get to know the ones useful to you
