Comment on YSK: You can search (most of?) lemmy as a search engine

I don’t think it should be necessary to tell a search engine where the most relevant results are located. That’s literally the only point of a search engine. I want to enter a search term, and if the best results are on reddit, I want to see those, or if it’s on Lemmy I want to see that, or if the best result is somewhere else I don’t know about, THAT’S what I want to see. The fact that we have to manually tell search engines where to search is completely backwards.

Not ranting at you, you’ve done good work. Just disappointed at the current state of “search” engines.
