They will integrate AI and it will be terrible.

Google is only better because you can see results that aren't on reddit.

Do they, now? All of my experiences with the Reddit search bar were a waste of time, this search bar is an absolute piece of trash. It's completely useless. I have always gotten immensely superior result searching Reddit from an outside search engine than using the built-in one. It's that bad. So, good luck to them, I guess...
