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.
Didn’t reddit also start introducing adverts as appearing like user-generated content? If that’s included in google’s indexing I’d actually prefer relying on older indexes of the site. It’ll probably be a while before new indexes are significantly more valuable for anything other than very specific inquiries than an index of however many years it was between reddit’s founding and last week, anyway. And that’s assuming that Reddit stays as central as it is and doesn’t lose any more market share to any other reddit-like platform (like Lemmy)
