They must’ve noticed an uptick in Google traffic. I’ve stopped using reddit for fun and only as a means to find solutions through search engine.

Starting to wish yahoo answers would come back.

Google has started adding a Reddit search filter to some searches.

[-] kaitco@lemmy.world 30 points 1 year ago

That’s because it’s so impossible to find anything I’d use on a normal Google search that you have to add “Reddit” to your search to find anything relevant.

Of course, post-API debacle, a fair amount of the responses you’d have needed are deleted, but ya know…

No way, is this real? Seems like it would be a huge news story. Has Google ever had a specific search filter for a third-party website?

[-] billiam0202@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

It's absolutely real. "Adding Reddit to Google searches to actually find useful information" isn't a meme, it's what people are really doing. And since Google has (allegedly) killed search operators, it's the only way to cut through the uselessness that Google search has become. Although, I do have a sneaking suspicion it's actually added by whatever AI they have on their backend that generates "useful" filters, not something Google itself directly added.
