What's up with the search?

submitted over 9 years ago by Nutz_of_Brin

I tried searching for a recipe I posted to send to that dude wanting a Churrios clone but my search pulled back nothing.

https://www.reddit.com/r/DIY_eJuice/search?q=ghetto+bear&restrict_sr=on&sort=relevance&t=all

Here is the permalink: https://www.reddit.com/r/DIY_eJuice/comments/4h9vnb/may_2016_recipe_thread/d2t7bnf

Is this possibly due to the format, sizing, etc?

IIRC Reddit search only looks for the title of the post and possibly the content in the main post, doesn't look through the comments

Looks like that might be the reason why. It does search main post content as I didn't mention Ghetto Bear in title but it still returns this thread as it is in the link.

/TIL

Use the Google site trick instead. https://m.reddit.com/r/DIY_eJuice/comments/4h9vnb/may_2016_recipe_thread/d2t7bnf

Looks like I'm in need of a google search for how to google search reddit because the reddit search is borked.

Maybe that should be in the sidebar yo.

Good to know that the search is fully functional.

Weird. I just did a search on "Ghetto Bear" and this thread is returned but not the original linked thread.

So it looks like the Monthly Recipe threads are removed from the reddit search results.

I tried Searching for Cactus Juice, also in the May Recipe thread and it did not come up.
