Reddit Makes Updates to Its Search Tools

In a bid to improve its search capabilities, Reddit has stated its plans to expand the search capabilities on the platform. With the new updates, you can now facilitate a search through posts and comments, enabling you to discover important conversations on the platform.

This new update gives you the ability to do keyword searches as well as filter your search results by comments. In a statement given by Reddit regarding the updates, they said, "These new options will help users easily sort through their comment section or discussion threads to find particular comments or topics they are interested in. The new feature lets Redditors refine their search by focusing their search on the relevant communities.

This new update could improve your research into social conversations. Especially when you consider that Reddit’s communities are a great place to gain some insight into the interests of the public. This will be a great way to gain feedback on products and ideas. As you continue using the new search filters to test them, you will get to understand them better and make better use of all the available elements in the search filter. Reddit also made an update to its search result page, giving it a simplified layout that will help users find their queries easily. 

Reddit is also trying to improve the accuracy of searches by making sure the results you get are relevant to your query. They are doing this by making search matching less restrictive, enabling you to get more results for your searches. And these efforts by Reddit seem to be paying off, as they have already seen a 20% jump in the first quarter of 2022.
