I think you’re implying that Reddit’s search is subpar, which I agree, although it seems it has improved slightly, recently. When I want firsthand perspective on something I usually append “reddit” to my google searches instead of searching reddit itself, even if I have a reddit tab open already.
On relatively sparse, self-post (fow or no link) subreddits, Reddit search is fairly useful for searchin posts only.
Comments are not indexed.
At volume and with links, search breaks down from both insufficient context (esppecially with editorialised, sensationalised, or vague titles) and excess low-yield content.
