Comment on ‘Reddit can survive without search’: company reportedly threatens to block Google
AbidanYre@lemmy.world 8 months agoThat’s what I thought this was about halfway through the headline.
“They’ve made it this long without a functional search.”

I'm pretty sure the admin response to lack of search was "just use Google."

I also recall that, but it’s just another instance of Reddit contradicting Reddit.

Or more realistically: Reddit from 10 years ago contradicting Reddit from today.

For what its worth the reddit search function seemed to have functioned much better a decade ago.
The amount of spam and just downright completely irrelevant results that showed up regularly in searches there the last few years has been ridiculous. I think it changed around the time they took away being able to see how many upvotws and downvotes a comment had totally, which I do still think is a real shame they took that away.
