Check again. I submitted feedback yesterday based on what you told me. They already fixed it today. Looks like it just wasn’t checking for language without a user logged in.

It looks like it would now in a real search before personalizations.

They seem to be good at fixing anything or adding new features if you ask.

Google’s results are often unusable now for anyone boycotting Reddit.

For years I was annoyed by all the Google ads and junk websites that were just there for ads, behind paywalls, ai generated or trying to get me to buy something.

To find anything of use I would often type in Reddit. Now they have nothing with their best results becoming more junk not to click on. Staying with Google makes it incredibly difficult to quit Reddit.

I have not experienced anything like that. There have been a couple searches that were poor at the beginning though. You can just block or down rank the bad results and make some custom lenses that solve that problem.

It really improves the more effort you put into customizing it. The free trial really isn’t enough time to get a feel for it.

Is there a reddit archive alternative? I don’t need up to date comments. Most the times that I am forced to use reddit it is for solutions to technical problems posted years ago. You could have one visit and get a snapshot 2 days after it was posted. Almost nobody adds comments after a day or two.

Or is there an offline database for Reddit that you can download like with wikipedia? If you go by text only or could choose communities that probably wouldn’t be too much data.

I feel like this needs to be done soon if it doesn’t already exist because Reddit is probably going to copy Musk again.
