There's a certain irony in Google only being useful to find Reddit links, but Reddit's own search engine being so dogshit that you can't find anything on the site unless you Google it

Adding “Reddit” to your Google search only helped because content from Reddit wasn’t linkfarm blogspam.

Frankly that was changing anyway. Reddit was going downhill well before the api changes.

I've always heard that reddit search was no good, I always used the joey for reddit app and the search seemed to work well. What was wrong with it on the browser?
