No it cannot lmao. It’s hilarious they think otherwise.
Have you ever used Reddit’s search? If yes, did you really have a positive experience with it? Personally I found it quite terrible, UX wise in particular. Many people online seem to agree. If you’re looking for something on Reddit it’s actually easier to Google and restrict the site to reddit.com
I have on several occasions copy-pasted a recent post’s exact title into reddit’s internal search and received a mountain of irrelevant results that categorically failed to contain what I’d specified verbatim. I’m pretty sure the fucking thing is just hooked up to random number generator. It’s hilariously useless.
? If yes, did you really have a positive experience with it?
Yes. I’ve only ever used it (never google) for over a decade. No idea why others had such a bad time with it.
I didn’t even know people would use Google to search through Reddit till a few months ago. I thought everyone just used Reddits own search bar.

This let you search only within a specific subreddit
Great, one of the only good uses left for both reddit and google.
Half the traffic to reddit is because someone is looking for a recommendation or solution. Reddit’s internal search function is about as useful as it’s video player or it’s app.
Half of the unique visitors maybe, the traffic of the people on Google visit 1 post. The people with an account who browse it at work see 500
How can a platform be so narcissistic?!
They mistakenly believe they are a company that generates amazing content instead of being a company that hosts amazing content generated by others. It’s the same problem Twitter, Youtube, and many other content hosting platforms have.
This is an apt analogy. Because on reddit, a lot of the bottles actually turn out to be filled with piss.
Is Spez mixing vodka and crack? It seems like they have no end goal except to make a small amount of money for a short period of time by not paying google, but they’ll lose money once they find a large portion of their views come from search traffic.
