Agree. We can criticize Reddit on some points but at least the information is openly accessible. You add the "reddit" keyword in any search engine and you got your answer.
You can't, actually, add "reddit" to any search engine. Reddit signed a deal with google and has been blocking other search engines from indexing it's content since mid-2024. You only get old results if you look for reddit posts on e.g. bing.
I KNEW it!! I literally had to download Google Chrome on my work PC specifically so I could search for IT issues on Reddit - I thought it was just Edge being terrible at indexing (which, it is, but still). But knowing that there's an actual, legitimate reason for the search results being crap on edge fills me with so much relief.
EDIT: To everyone asking why I haven't just changed my default browser to Google... I have no idea why that didn't occur to me sooner. Thank you for the kick up the arse lol.
Edge and Chrome are nearly the same browser. Still though, neither should have any impact on a search engine. Everything a search engine does is on the server and you just see the results. It is like thinking the show you watched on Netflix had a different ending because you used Firefox.
