Google is now the only search engine that can surface results from Reddit, making one of the web’s most valuable repositories of user generated content exclusive to the internet’s already dominant search engine.

If you use Bing, DuckDuckGo, Mojeek, Qwant or any other alternative search engine that doesn’t rely on Google’s indexing and search Reddit by using “site:reddit.com,” you will not see any results from the last week.

    Unfortunately it’s full of specialist subs and useful walkthroughs, tutorials, answers and so on. It’s impossible to replicate the work of so many years.

    Not only do we need Reddit, we need to get a hold of post archives (as recent as possible until they limited the API) and make them searchable offline.
