      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

          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.
