reddit search was never not broken
221I was going to say… the only times I ever used Reddit search, it just prompted me to question why I was wasting my time, then googling “xyz problem statement reddit”
57Yeah... whenever I wnted to find something on Reddit, I would use Google with reddit as a keyword

51I've found I miss the old days of searching. Granted there was certainly far less to look through, but back when there were many different search engines trying to find the best algorithm to use, you could get programs that would query all the ones you added in the list and then sort them out, removing duplicate finds. First page always had great results. Although I admit I'd often just go use Hotbot and get solid hits too. Google later absorbed Hotbot's database.

They are getting rid of old.reddit. I am calling it.
60I would wager most of the old.reddit users are on lemmy now.
26They might eventually make it inaccessible, but getting rid of it would take an enormous amount of work.

This would be more noteworthy if the search was actually working for the first time ever
44So business as usual?
30Wow, they really went all in alienating their user base.
What the fuck actually happened behind the scenes to cause all this? Like I get that some upper leadership is probably trying to cash out or something, but why? What is the motivation? What changed all of a sudden to cause this?
