    to find anything at all on Reddit you needed Google

    Huh? I just used reddits own search bar. Worked just fine for me.

    Edit: Man some of you are bitter at the fact that not everyone had issues using Reddits own search. Lmao

          When you know a post exists, and you type its exact title into reddits search, and it gives you inrelated bullshit so you need to go to google who hand you the exact post you knew existed, it annoys you.

          When you do that every time you try reddits search function, you start to really hate it.

      I’ve found that Reddit’s search generally works when searching within a specific subreddit, but otherwise it’s mostly useless.

        But isn’t that how most people use google to search Reddit anyways? They specify the sub in their searches.

        But anyways, I was always able to find what I was looking for even when doing a website-wide general search or when picking the sub. shrug

      Idk I always found the result sorting to be, I mean, obscenely bad. I would find better more accurate results searching in Google “r/whateversub” followed by whatever it was I was trying to find.

        You could pick what sub you wanted to find your info directly from Reddits own search bar as well though. Or choose to search the entire website.
