I wanted to ask a technical questions, maybe high level, on why sites may have bad search and what the bottlenecks might be in almost never updating such in years. Was there something in the original development of the stack that is affecting progressive updates around the feature, how should one approach "Search" then in this case? Or is it simply a management issue.

Search is lot better if you are not logged in. For example, if you searched for 'politics' while not logged in, the top result would be a link to r/politics. But if you are logged in, it's mostly garbage posts from anything but a political subreddit.
