They must’ve noticed an uptick in Google traffic. I’ve stopped using reddit for fun and only as a means to find solutions through search engine.
Starting to wish yahoo answers would come back.
Google has started adding a Reddit search filter to some searches.
That’s because it’s so impossible to find anything I’d use on a normal Google search that you have to add “Reddit” to your search to find anything relevant.
Of course, post-API debacle, a fair amount of the responses you’d have needed are deleted, but ya know…
No way, is this real? Seems like it would be a huge news story. Has Google ever had a specific search filter for a third-party website?
It's absolutely real. "Adding Reddit to Google searches to actually find useful information" isn't a meme, it's what people are really doing. And since Google has (allegedly) killed search operators, it's the only way to cut through the uselessness that Google search has become. Although, I do have a sneaking suspicion it's actually added by whatever AI they have on their backend that generates "useful" filters, not something Google itself directly added.

If only we knew how good we had it back then.
Fuck, I miss trolling in Yahoo answers.
