Neither DuckDuckGo nor Google are particularly good at it, since you can't do something like site:reddit.com. How do you guye search or is this just an unsolved problem?

Add this search string in Firefox/Librewolf/Mull. On Desktop you need the addon "add custom search engine", on mobile its integrated. (No idea why)

Engine URL
DuckduckGo https://duckduckgo.com/?q=site%3Alemmy.ml+%s
Startpage https://www.startpage.com/sp/search?query=site%3Alemmy.world+%s
MetaGer https://metager.de/meta/meta.ger3?eingabe=site:monero.town+%s
random SearX https://searx.neocities.org/#q=site:lemmy.ml+%s&category_general=on
Qwant https://www.qwant.com/?q=site:lemmy.org+%s
Brave Search https://search.brave.com/search?q=site:lemmy.eus+%s
mojeek https://www.mojeek.com/search?q=site:lemm.ee+%s

Tor

There dont seem to be discoverable lemmy instances on Tor, even though there is a guide.

You could use this for searching lemmy over tor:

Engine URL
DDG onion https://duckduckgogg42xjoc72x3sjasowoarfbgcmvfimaftt6twagswzczad.onion/?q=site:lemmy.ml+%s
SearX (find more at searx.space http://4n53nafyi77iplnbrpmxnp3x4exbswwxigujaxy3b37fvr7bvlopxeyd.onion/search?q=site:lemmy.world+%s
Startpage (blocks like hell) http://startpagel6srwcjlue4zgq3zevrujfaow726kjytqbbjyrswwmjzcqd.onion/sp/search?query=site%3Alemmy.world+%s

Note that the (intext:"modlog" & "instances" & "docs" & "code" & "join lemmy") method seems better. The fedi-search is also awesome.

On desktop you can somehow enable it in about:config if you don't want to install an addon.

Damn? Where? I found something called "newsearch" but no GUI appeared on Librewolf
