Confirmed: not even Greedy Pigboy uses that fucking shithole. If he did, he would know that Reddit search sucks major balls, and that it would take a lot of money to fix it.
And this would also taunt Reddit's effective suzerain Google/Alphabet. Whose core monopoly is... well, search. Probably finding ways to wreck with Reddit.
They will integrate AI and it will be terrible.
Both sides are doing it. Except Google has enough resources to make it slightly less terrible.
Google is only better because you can see results that aren't on reddit.

Nah; Reddit search is so bad, but so fucking bad that people would rather search Reddit content in Google than directly in Reddit. (Cue to the "$query reddit" pseudo-hack).
And this discrepancy will get even bigger with both sides worsening their searches with AI.
Monetizing other people's content, millionaires and billionaires love it. Yes I know there's a TOS where you give up all rights to what you post there but meh, still shitty.
Do they, now? All of my experiences with the Reddit search bar were a waste of time, this search bar is an absolute piece of trash. It's completely useless. I have always gotten immensely superior result searching Reddit from an outside search engine than using the built-in one. It's that bad. So, good luck to them, I guess...
Fuck Reddit and Fuck Spez.
What's a reddit?

That's nice. /s
