do Reddit admins think they have any kind of search function without using Google and site:reddit.com?
They think they have a great app without third party developers, so probably. :/
oof
The reddit search was broken for years
Are they using their own search function to find a fix?
Did it ever work?
I see people in this thread say they never had a problem with the search feature but honestly personally I always used Google
It was good for certain situations, such as obscure subreddits and google was good for others.
They both had their benefits and drawbacks.
