reddit search is awful. but searching reddit with google is heavenly.

  Searching 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

    If 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.

  Whereas searching anything else with google is awful again. The internet is weird.
