Reddit is working on a new unified interface that will merge its legacy search and AI-powered Q&A features, as well as make its search box more prominently visible in the app.

    Reddit? The site with a search so bad, I had to use external search engines? Great idea.

    Also, Reddit offers their own AI Q&A? The site that prominently poisend many Google AI summaries? What are they even smoking at this point?

      The site that prominently poisend many Google AI summaries

      The site that made huge bank by selling API access to Google so Google could poison its own search results with shitty AI summaries.

      Tip to any readers that don’t know, you can get search results from a specific website adding site: followed by the domain.

      For example, if you want to limit the results to reddit.com and you want to search for fuck spez:

      fuck spez site:reddit.com

      This also works with subreddits. If you want to look for vince in the r/nba subreddit:

      vince site:reddit.com/r/nba

      I am pretty sure this works with subdomains too, I just can’t think of any examples off the top of my head that would be useful.

      I tested this with Google, Duckduckgo, and Bing. It works for all of them.

      “Hey if we introduce new features, that line will go up”.

      In reality it’s trying to be something it’s not, and most ideas contribute to enshittification.
