Neither DuckDuckGo nor Google are particularly good at it, since you can't do something like site:reddit.com. How do you guye search or is this just an unsolved problem?

Google smacks your SEO rating if you have the same content as other websites. The fediverse will face this problem for a while until search engines find a solution to it.

The default web UI search utils are very strong though. If you know content is on Lemmy, you can search by post type/author/instance/etc and find it quite fast.
