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”

Yeah... whenever I wnted to find something on Reddit, I would use Google with reddit as a keyword

Google is more worthless every day...

I've found I miss the old days of searching. Granted there was certainly far less to look through, but back when there were many different search engines trying to find the best algorithm to use, you could get programs that would query all the ones you added in the list and then sort them out, removing duplicate finds. First page always had great results. Although I admit I'd often just go use Hotbot and get solid hits too. Google later absorbed Hotbot's database.

This would be more noteworthy if the search was actually working for the first time ever

So business as usual?

HAHA, as if it ever worked.

Wow, they really went all in alienating their user base.
What the fuck actually happened behind the scenes to cause all this? Like I get that some upper leadership is probably trying to cash out or something, but why? What is the motivation? What changed all of a sudden to cause this?

Stockholders that got rich off musk buying Twitter want that again.

Good. Good. Let the dark side flow through you

That's nothing new, reddit search has always been broken.
