- butterfi 5y agoPeople are not using Reddit's search, they are using Google to search Reddit.
- jhickok 5y agoreddit search is awful. but searching reddit with google is heavenly.
- ncann 5y agoSearching reddit with Google is good, but also not that great. - The date, in many cases, is all wrong. Limiting search results to just last month, for example, will usually still return reddit posts from years ago - Search works great on the post title and to a certain extent the post body, but is really bad on comments. It's really hard to search for a comment especially if the thread is large and long-lived - Many threads seem to not be indexed at all, e.g the daily question threads in many big game subreddits
- BeFlatXIII 5y agoIf you're searching for a specific post or comment (rather than trying to find posts and comments about something), https://camas.github.io/reddit-search/ https://camas.github.io/reddit-search/ has been my go-to power search. Thanks to its delays in syncing, it occasionally will return deleted and edited results that may have already been scrubbed from Google or Reddit native search.
- mcv 5y agoWhereas searching anything else with google is awful again. The internet is weird.
