I would think they apply their normal algorithms.
If it's a good article that's upvoted a lot, it should also be linked in some places and thus get a higher search score.
- grumpy_coder 4y agoThough it's not finding the article. It's finding a link to the article on Reddit. I hope people aren't linking to the Reddit thread...
- comfypotato 4y agoThe way the original pagerank algorithm works, links to the original article would increase the score of a Reddit post linking to the article. Why Reddit posts are ranked higher in a default search I’m not sure, but this would definitely explain why site:Reddit works.
- Jensson 4y agoDo people link to reddit threads a lot? I'd assume such a signal would be very noisy and not very reliable, so spam sites would just link a lot to their content spam on reddit.
