    Especially since reddit search itself has always been laughably broken.

      That’s what I thought this was about halfway through the headline.

      “They’ve made it this long without a functional search.”

          I also recall that, but it’s just another instance of Reddit contradicting Reddit.

              For what its worth the reddit search function seemed to have functioned much better a decade ago.

              The amount of spam and just downright completely irrelevant results that showed up regularly in searches there the last few years has been ridiculous. I think it changed around the time they took away being able to see how many upvotws and downvotes a comment had totally, which I do still think is a real shame they took that away.

                Yeah Reddit search was fine on the original old Reddit UI, it was around the time the native app released that it really started to shit itself and not return any results and just say try again later
