reddit search was never not broken
- I 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”
- Yeah... whenever I wnted to find something on Reddit, I would use Google with reddit as a keyword
They are getting rid of old.reddit. I am calling it.
- I would wager most of the old.reddit users are on lemmy now.
  
  If not, soon.
  
  The big thing will be consolidating all that useful information stuck on there to somewhere search engine readable.
  
  Well we all knew old.reddit was going to die, they told us they will eventually shut it down, ever since redesign.
- They might eventually make it inaccessible, but getting rid of it would take an enormous amount of work.
  
  Edited relevant xkcd:
This would be more noteworthy if the search was actually working for the first time ever
So business as usual?
Wow, 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?
- Stockholders that got rich off musk buying Twitter want that again.
HAHA, as if it ever worked.
Good. Good. Let the dark side flow through you
That's nothing new, reddit search has always been broken.
😱 what year is it?!
