>I haven't seen a DNC-related reddit conspiracy before though. What? You haven't noticed social media marketing on reddit?
I've never heard someone say "the night of the DNC primary in 2015 there was a dramatic shift." Not sure what your comment about ads is related to.

It's also a lie because "everything" on reddit is still not in fact searchable; buried in the comments on the announcement post, they admit that pre-2020 comments are still not indexed: https://www.reddit.com/r/reddit/comments/u3oz2x/whats_up_wit...
LOL! Well time to continue using "site:www.reddit.com" on Google, then. I find the old search from old.reddit.com to be way better than the newer search (but I haven't tried this newest search linked in the thread).
> With this latest update, for the first time in sixteen years everything on Reddit is now searchable - users, posts, communities, and now comments - making Reddit one of the first platforms with this capability. I mean this is a straight up blatant lie, every single forum/social site out there has proper search and has for years, I know all of mine do. Most of them you even have image search. So honest question, how…
I don't understand why search is something that Reddit needs to have. Google does the job perfectly fine. Search isn't a core feature for Reddit and it's certainly not "basic" functionality.

How can you search specific comments in a single Reddit post with Google accurately? Take a recent Reddit post and try on Google: site: https://www.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/u3vzo2/russia_wa... arms Even subreddit comment search on Google is flimsy due to Reddit not properly exposing the dates, so Google's indexed dates are usually wrong.

They keep raising money. Might as well hire more and pay better. I'm blown away that after nearly 2 decades, search is effectively unfunded at this company.
> Might as well hire more and pay better Would you want to work there? I suspect a lot of great candidates want nothing to do with that company.

site:www.reddit.com/r/whatever_subreddit "whatever you are searching for" Works for me every time. I haven't used Reddit search in 10 years. I'm at a loss for why anyone would want to read Reddit comments in the first place though. At least on one of the top 100 subs.
I agree there are a lot of crap comments on the bigger default subs (as is the same with any forum) but those are relatively easy to ignore and recognize with experience. Or maybe I just have been using internet forums for too long !
Sometime around the night of the DNC primary in 2015 there was a dramatic shift in the content on Reddit. If you were a frequent visitor of the homepage and /all at the time, you will know exactly what I am referring to. The product has gone downhill ever since. Comment search is nice because it enables users to find interesting content directly in the good niche subreddits.

'reddit enhancement suite' has an expand all button. You can then search with the regular browser search feature within the page.
Reddit without RES (also uBlock Origin) is reddit that's only 50-75% usable. Though I would also say old.reddit is infinitely superior to the newer reddit interface as well.

Mine's older than yours and I don't know what you mean, the DNC targeted reddit? Dramatic shift? Reddit started far left (being focused on science and tech) even horse-shoeing to the point where it attracted a big Ron Paul fan base. There was an r/obama before users could make subreddits. It's been heading right or center-right ever since the_donald (2015), r/conservative, etc have gotten so huge, if there's been any…
It was really obvious when something unexpected happened, like that video of Hilary collapsing and having to be pushed into a vehicle during the presidential campaign - for several hours the sockpuppet accounts didn't know what to say so comments from regular users started making it to the top again.
(Quick edit, had the wrong organization in mind before)
I use this: https://camas.github.io/reddit-search/ Search Reddit comments and posts by keyword, user, sub, or all three. Includes deleted comments and posts.
That's so helpful, thank you so much. I just found a reddit post I'd deleted in 2015 that had the title of an earworm.
