Yeah, much of reddit's content is repetitive, even so much that commenters will complain about "reposts". If reddit ever built a search engine, it would need to build a graph that would cluster all these repetitive posts. Users would then be able to easily find a previous post before they went on to create their own repost. This would lead to less posts and less avenues for other users to engage, which is counter to Reddit's own model and probably why Reddit doesn't want a search engine that works.
