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?

The built-in search feature is actually quite decent I find, is it not working well for you?

Perhaps I've missed a trick, it only searches for communities. I'm using Jerboa, the 'official' app.

There's no way to search for individual posts or comments.

I use the Eternity client from F-Droid just for searching. It has extensive filtering support. It's very sad that it lacks maintainership, this fork of Infinity for Reddit finally got me to migrate from reddit during the exodus. It still works though and the search is wonderful.

Did you try Raccoon for Lemmy? I am using it now, and was an Infinity user some time ago.

[โ€“] gigachad@feddit.de 2 points 7 months ago

I tried out Raccoon for a while, but I always accidentally up or downvoted posts while scrolling because it was super sensitive. So I switched back to Eternity (Nightly). But it may be fixed in the meantime...

Do they maintain it? Has the same level of customisation?

Thanks, I'll try it
