Reddit search is a little broken right now - lemm.ee

reddit search was never not broken
I was going to say… the only times I ever used Reddit search, it just prompted me to question why I was wasting my time, then googling “xyz problem statement reddit”
I wonder why it sucked so much? I’m no expert in terms of crafting a search engine, but Reddit has not lacked funds for some years now

The answer is always money. Did the awful search stop you from using reddit? No? why would they spend money to fix it?

This logic applies to every business is a capitalist economy.

I always assumed that it increased engagement. Can’t find what you’re searching for? Put up a post asking (even though someone’s already asked that question 1,000 times).
Step 1: Ask question on Reddit.
Step 2: Be told to Google it.
Step 3: Google it and click link that takes you back to Reddit where someone is asking the same question and being told to Google it.
