That’s what I’ve been thinking. But more often than not I just don’t get any results where Google tends to find the exact posts with the same query. And I guess like others have said, they probably just depend on that. But yeah I felt a feature that is very important like this for Reddit not being fixed is interesting to me.
Google is way more advanced. It's doesn't just do a keyword search.
It does things like looking for similar words automatically., Looking at what other users clicked on after doing similar searches.
It can actually be frustrating when it includes things that are nothing to do with what you typed if your search is too specific.
True, it would seem though, Google tackles a more complex problem, while Reddit or the like deals with its own specific data that has a predefined format that they know of.
Looking at what other users clicked on after doing similar searches.Yeah, I feel Reddit just doesn't account for these things, because requires way more work maybe to add as weights, if I am thinking of it correctly
