When you know a post exists, and you type its exact title into reddits search, and it gives you inrelated bullshit so you need to go to google who hand you the exact post you knew existed, it annoys you.
When you do that every time you try reddits search function, you start to really hate it.
Idk I always found the result sorting to be, I mean, obscenely bad. I would find better more accurate results searching in Google "r/whateversub" followed by whatever it was I was trying to find.
Huh? I just used reddits own search bar. Worked just fine for me.
Edit: Man some of you are bitter at the fact that not everyone had issues using Reddits own search. Lmao
oh man this is hilarious.
you're kidding right? did they fix it right before everyone left in disgust and no one even noticed?
Not kidding. Never had issues with it in the many years I used it. =)
every single time I've tried reddit's search it delivered results that were somehow worse than not searching at all.
You would be a shining needle in a field of hay.
I guess. I had no idea so many people hated Reddits searchbar.

Ah, sorry that was happening to you.
I've found that Reddit's search generally works when searching within a specific subreddit, but otherwise it's mostly useless.
But isn't that how most people use google to search Reddit anyways? They specify the sub in their searches.
But anyways, I was always able to find what I was looking for even when doing a website-wide general search or when picking the sub. shrug

You could pick what sub you wanted to find your info directly from Reddits own search bar as well though. Or choose to search the entire website.
