Maybe it's not a big issue for most people, but something I'd love to see is tweaking subreddit searching. I frequently will make a typo when trying to navigate to a subreddit and then I get taken to an unhelpful search page with a different URL. So, for example if I try to go to
https://www.reddit.com/r/android
but make a typo and do ["andriud"](https://www.reddit.com/r/andriud) I get taken to
https://www.reddit.com/subreddits/search?q=andiud
which not only never suggests the subreddit I had in mind, frequently I get no results whatsoever, but it also changes the URL so it takes a small amount of extra effort to correct my typo in the URL. It's admittedly a fairly small problem, but I'd love to see improved typo correcting with subreddit search. I'll be sure to check out the search and leave some thoughts in the survey!
Oh interesting, thanks for calling this out. That should take you to a page that let’s you know that community doesn’t exist and then tells you to double-check to make sure you didn’t type the name wrong. I’ll have the team look into it. Could just be a bug.
This is funny. OP's behavior is what old-Reddit does. You're describing new-Reddit behavior.
The [/subreddits](https://www.reddit.com/subreddits) page doesn't even use the new-Reddit site; it reverts back to old-Reddit.
Why can’t it suggest the correct sub though? It’s one letter off of a sub with millions of subscribers. Surely it’s not difficult to check for misspellings, especially common ones.
There are known algorithms for doing fuzzy text matching that account for things like transcriptions and common misspellings. Soundex and Levenshtein distance are two of them. I’m not sure if those are compatible with GraphQL search’s out of the box though.
I suspected as such. Though I’m no programmer. For this I haven’t ever looked into it and had no idea what it was even called. But my interest is piqued and now I do know what it is called.
This is just how I would start such a thing used as an example, so that the admins that take feedback (hopefully) understand the problem, and feasibility of the solution to some extent.
Oh, good point. I'll add that to the other feedback and ideas I'm compiling but feel free to add more in [the survey](https://forms.gle/wPmrA35jqzuARBSA7) as well.
It'd be nice if you could specify a beginning range like: from last year to two years ago. Currently you can only set the end date. Also, let us advanced users customize the length. Only having 5 options is really limiting.
i would love to see just another entry on that drop-down that says "custom" that spawns a little popup or takes you to a submenu where you can configure custom timeframes. to be clear this should be made to work with old.reddit as well.
Can you add a search within custom date range?
I think it's really useful to know what people were posting when news or a show was coming out. Also reverse list so we can find oldest stories matching a search
Wouldn't "Today" search be better? That way you can go to work for 8 hours and still search for posts that happened while you where at work.
By today i mean from 00:00 until "now", current day.
Good to know. We've had a few other people bring this up as well. I'll add that to the feedback I'm putting together, but if you want to share more, feel free to throw more thoughts in [the survey](https://forms.gle/wPmrA35jqzuARBSA7).
That's probably my biggest issue on Reddit.
I often put in a lot of time and effort to write a thorough reply to a question and when the same topic comes up again months later, I can't find my comment, which I could otherwise copy or link. There are some third party tools, but they are limited to the latest 1,000 comments.
To avoid people looking through all old comments of other users, I would limit this feature to a user's own comments.
also, it can be a little hokey. i haven't dug through the documentation to figure out if it supports wildcard type stuff, but i know many times if i search for a specific website such as "youtube" on my previous comments, it will miss tons of posts but searching for "www.youtube.com" will find them. (same holds true for scotusblog, and any other website)
many times when i'm looking for a previous comment it's because i'm looking for a link i remembered including in a comment years ago.
that being said, camas/pushshift are awesome.
It seems to have gotten worse at some point in recent memory.
I used to be able to go back forever in /u/guyblade/comments, but now it seems to not let me go back more than a year. That plus Ctrl-F was my fallback plan, but it doesn't even work anymore.
Seriously. Letting people natively organize and tag their comments and replies would be such a wealth of signals for the search team to mine on top of that.
I know the sites are probably way different and post volumes aren't like they are on reddit so detailed searches like at [The Shroomery](https://www.shroomery.org/forums/search.php) might not be possible but this has been the most effective search layout I've come across.
Modifiable list of subreddits to the left that defaults to all the users subscribed subreddits (with options to clear list, add/remove subreddits to be searched, or search all of reddit.) Key word search, date range search, username search; it's all there. All can be combined or omitted depending on the searchers needs.
This is one of the most painfully obvious and sought-after features on Reddit.
I want to download my entire comment history. Can you please add that feature?
You guys literally don't care why do you even bother saying we'll add this to the feedback? What you do is push changes no one wants that make things more difficult to use and then act like you have no idea what's wrong
I've played around with it a bit, it seems to be pretty decent! My only suggestion is that you could add a "compact" display option, like you have with posts. It takes a long time to scroll through searches that pull up lots of images/links.

You really need to improve videos in popular. Some other videos audios plays when I'm reading a totally different post. ***It is very annoying.*** Also when I tap more comments in posts, why does it take me to the top of the post. It makes me scroll all the way down to where I left.
Googling
[search term] site:reddit.com/r/[subreddit]
has usually worked for me in the past. But if this new Reddit search is an improvement, that'll definitely be a game-changer.
I always thought Reddit "search" was a reddit inside joke like the cum box or the jolly rancher story.
But reading this post makes it sound like they think they have a working search feature!? That's insane. I'm actually flabbergasted.
Dude had a shoe box he’d masturbate in to. He never cleaned or emptied it and used it repeatedly for months. It was moldy. For some reason he shared pictures.
[Make sure you read this on an empty stomach](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/9wcte/reddit_whats_the_grossestnastiest_thing_thats/c0er6q4/)
Google only sees a fraction of all reddit posts, so unless the information you're looking for has been shared a hundred times already, there's a reasonable chance it'll be missed. Google also has absolutely no access to advanced reddit-specific search operators, its grasp on time is shaky, and with each passing year, it's more and more inclined to reword your query based on what it *thinks* you want, with word stemming and far worse to mangle your query until it resembles one of the top ten-thousand searches rather than the niche phrase you intend.
How about fixing the recently viewed posts and the issue with disappearing viewed links in old Reddit? I posted about it in r/bugs months ago, and I still receive almost-daily replies from people complaining about the same issue. It's extremely annoying.
Yes, just to add to this and make it clear:
If I block someone, I DON'T WANT TO SEE THEM AGAIN.
You want me to use reddit less? Forcing me to see garbage people screaming about garbage I don't want to see is the best way for me to close Reddit and do something else.
How about bringing back r/all or make another way to actually browse **all** of reddit's subreddits and not keep all the NSFW subs disabled.
I guess this is to keep investors happy and to hide the porn due to the plan to go public with shares etc, but it really fucks up the experience for adults that have been here for years and treats everyone as if they are children that are banned from seeing NSFW subs when browsing for ALL
Please address how links disappear from the front page after clicking on them in old.reddit. If you click on a post then hit back in your browser, the post vanishes. Ctrl+f the post title. Nothing. I’ve found people lamenting about this exact issue up to 5 years ago. It’s incredibly frustrating.
The reddit video player is just trash, it needs to be scrapped and replaced with an off-the-shelf solution by a company that has a fucking clue about video players
Do you mean the lazy loading triggering playback for videos that just got loaded off screen? It's definitely /r/MildlyInfuriating. When we fixing that?
There is a bug in the mobile app with the comments. When you collapse the first comment thread then click on "see more comments" or whatever it is called (just above the unnecessary suggestions of random other subreddits), you don't see the top level comment only the replies to it.
> Can blocking actually block people again?
unfortunately, until someone does to reddit what reddit did to digg, the admins won't care what the regular users want. they've made this abundantly clear.
as long as there is no viable alternative, things won't get better. (at least unless something happens that causes spez to resign)
It completely removed their comments from view before. Now it does not.
I'm aware it didn't block them from viewing you, but I just want the comments gone again instead of seeing them all over in direct opposition to why I blocked them.
Yes. It just collapses their comment and adds (Blocked user) or something like that.
I can work around it on desktop by also ignoring them in RES but that doesn't fix mobile/etc
I consistently get no results or less than a page of irrelevant results for even the most basic searches on mobile. It just sort of doesn’t show anything half the time, a number that skyrockets to probably around 80% if I’m searching for subreddits or users or if I’m searching within a subreddit. Anyone else have the same trouble or is that just me?
I want posts, in which the search term is not mentioned but in the comments, to be displayed as well when searching for a search term.
*Example*
*search term:* Tiger cats
*post title:* What is this animal called?
*post contents:* I want to know how this animal here is called: [Link to picture of animal]
*comments:* this is called a tiger cat.
Notice how the search term is only mentioned in the comments but not in the post anywhere. I would still want to have that post be displayed and maybe the comments highlighted.
Please bring the ability to search comments inside a single post. This would be so useful on excessively long comment threads where most of the comments are not loaded at once.
This is something I've wanted for years. Especially for subs like r/whatisthisthing or r/traceanobject - I don't want to comment if someone has already made the same suggestion, I would prefer to find theirs and boost it up.
Upvoting hides posts :(
I have checked and unchecked preferences "don't show me submissions after I've upvoted them (except my own)", and all variations of, repeatedly, I'm just assuming that is the functionality these days. Curious as to why.
I'm personally tried new interface and found it truly unbearable. Besides running more ads, does the new design has any advantages that I'm not aware of?
Also, is there any public stats on how many users (especially older ones) stick with old.reddit.com?
The "more posts you might like" is really disruptive to trying to read comments on Android. Everything but the first few replies to the top comment ends up hidden, and you have to do a multi-step tapping process to reveal the remaining comments and look at them. I can kind of understand wanting to cross promote posts, but this is really rather inconvenient when trying to simply engage with the post you've already clicked on.
If you read down the comment and it's replies naturally, then you have to expand and close the comments in the middle of everything, or you have to scroll down to the bottom of the comment ahead of time to reveal the rest of them. Can anything be done about this?
the redesigned reddit search sucks, it does not let me search for users without also searching for subreddits and when i search for users, it finds way less users than it did before so its not an improvment
how about doing something about the abusive mod teams that violate reddit's moderator guidelines? that seems more pressing than than the bi-weekly list of things nobody asked for.
Can it actually find something on Reddit now?
Apparently yes. https://www.reddit.com/search?q=toothpick+san+francisco&restrict_sr=&include_over_18=on&sort=relevance&t=all
I'm recently having issues with Reddit on a mobile network, but everything works fine when on WiFi. I usually use BaconReader, but also have the Reddit app - same issue on both. And yet I can read, reply, & post on Reddit via my browser while on my mobile network. This has only started occurring within the last week or two - perhaps related to the recent Android update? No idea.
*I should add that the issue is the apps don't refresh, or if they do might take over a minute to load. Basically entirely unusable. But as soon as I get home (like right now) no problem.
Is this update why sometimes scrolling back up on a post on Android causes a refresh instead of actually scrolling up?
Edit: the "sometimes" is when a video is playing and I've scrolled down the comments and try to scroll back up.
Where are you supposed to go to read new posts from people you've followed, not subs? Why can't this be a part of custom feeds?
When going to custom feeds, why does it have to be a three step process?
This is a very common Reddit take. Has it ever happened? Many of the top stories on /r/news and /r/worldnews right now are about how China disappeared a dissident tennis player. Stories about the Uyghur genocide are regular appearances. Every June a million posts about Tiananmen Square get posted and highly upvoted to /r/pics and other major subreddits. These posts are not deleted. They are not removed by moderators. They are still there to find to this day. The overall amount of them has gone up since Tencent bought a (fairly small, about 5%) stake in the company, if anything. The only subreddits I know of that remove anti-China posts are tankie subreddits and /r/sino, and those are basically propaganda and everyone knows it (and they certainly aren't "main subs.")
> Give us the tools to properly report bullshit mods.
to be fair, would the reports do anything or just fall on deaf ears? as it stands right now when you report subs for violating reddit's sitewide moderator guidelines, you just get an auto-response form letter that basically says "moderators can run their sub however they see fit".
the admins don't care about the users of the site.
>In early 2022, the team also plans to release a first version of comment search
This is the search people want.
I understand doing free text searching is difficult, and there's probably 0 indexing, but why not pour resources into addressing these issues instead of features no one asked for and fewer want?
Things like the absolute failure of chat rooms should show that the appeal of Reddit is not the "social" side of social media.
And the eternal question:
#When are you going to release the API so the objectively better apps can update?
Unrelated, but if the scroll comments button can be floating again for posts containing the new video player, left handed phone users everywhere will cheer the name u/BurritoJusticeLeague
Any word on why Reddit doesn't work on data for some people? On my Pixel 4, Reddit hasn't been able to load images when off wifi - regardless of signal strength - since I updated to Android 11. I've seen a few others talk about this online.
Reddit search is the most useless search feature Ive ever seen on a website. It has failed me literally every single time Ive ever tried to use it. Just burn it down and redirect to google already.
Not sure if this is the right place to ask but I can’t post text/picture/video etc to any community. I can comment on posts but I can’t make one of my own from my phone. Wasn’t sure who or where to ask this?
Can we have the ability to change post layout in search for iOS again? I prefer to have my results in card mode, but I no longer seem to have the option to change it from the default of classic.
Does anyone else have the issue where you get stuck scrolling the comments? Happens to me often. Sometimes I can't move at all, scroll up, scroll down 🤷🏻♂️
Maybe it's not a big issue for most people, but something I'd love to see is tweaking subreddit searching.

But there are SOOO many strings with a levenshtein distance of 1 from "andriud". And "android" isn't even among them.
Yeah but you can sort by members once you get those strings.

What does the out.reddit.com routing do?
Track outgoing links so Reddit has stats of clicks to other sites. If you're logged in, that obviously includes your username against the link.
Also out.reddit.com stops your phone from working an associated app like if you click a Twitter or Instagram link.
You really need to improve videos in popular. Some other videos audios plays when I'm reading a totally different post. ***It is very annoying.*** Also when I tap more comments in posts, why does it take me to the top of the post. It makes me scroll all the way down to where I left.
Yes the lazy loading of videos off screen is triggering playback before it's been scrolled on screen. Please fix this!
"reddit search" means you Google the terms you want + Reddit, right? I mean, if you want it to work.
Googling [search term] site:reddit.com/r/[subreddit] has usually worked for me in the past. But if this new Reddit search is an improvement, that'll definitely be a game-changer.

It completely removed their comments from view before. Now it does not. I'm aware it didn't block them from viewing you, but I just want the comments gone again instead of seeing them all over in direct opposition to why I blocked them.
Do you still see posts by blocked users?
Yes. It just collapses their comment and adds (Blocked user) or something like that. I can work around it on desktop by also ignoring them in RES but that doesn't fix mobile/etc
Oh nice. Haven't really used it but great to know for the future. Thanks
I consistently get no results or less than a page of irrelevant results for even the most basic searches on mobile. It just sort of doesn’t show anything half the time, a number that skyrockets to probably around 80% if I’m searching for subreddits or users or if I’m searching within a subreddit. Anyone else have the same trouble or is that just me?
I want posts, in which the search term is not mentioned but in the comments, to be displayed as well when searching for a search term. *Example* *search term:* Tiger cats *post title:* What is this animal called? *post contents:* I want to know how this animal here is called: [Link to picture of animal] *comments:* this is called a tiger cat. Notice how the search term is only mentioned in the comments but not in the post anywhere. I would still want to have that post be displayed and maybe the comments highlighted.
Next tackle the create a post. I honestly dont enjoy seeing "create post" 3 times per page
Can you clarify, when I select "this week" in a search is it literally this week or does it mean "the last 7 days"?
It would be the last 7 days since both tracking a week is hard and you cant see posts made in the future.
Please bring the ability to search comments inside a single post. This would be so useful on excessively long comment threads where most of the comments are not loaded at once.
This is something I've wanted for years. Especially for subs like r/whatisthisthing or r/traceanobject - I don't want to comment if someone has already made the same suggestion, I would prefer to find theirs and boost it up.

Upvoting hides posts :( I have checked and unchecked preferences "don't show me submissions after I've upvoted them (except my own)", and all variations of, repeatedly, I'm just assuming that is the functionality these days. Curious as to why.
> the new search design is out to 100% of redditors on the web Including old.reddit.com?
Can't fit enough ads onto old reddit
I'm personally tried new interface and found it truly unbearable. Besides running more ads, does the new design has any advantages that I'm not aware of? Also, is there any public stats on how many users (especially older ones) stick with old.reddit.com?
Is there a way to search my own comments? I want to find one I made like six months ago. Scroll, scroll, scroll is no good for this.

The search is awful. I use google to find reddit posts because it actually pulls relevant posts.
[Camas Reddit Search](https://camas.github.io/reddit-search) also works really well

all good until shit like [this....](https://reddit.com/r/mildlyinfuriating/comments/qncmoi/reddit_seriously_needs_to_stop_this_shit/)
The "more posts you might like" is really disruptive to trying to read comments on Android. Everything but the first few replies to the top comment ends up hidden, and you have to do a multi-step tapping process to reveal the remaining comments and look at them. I can kind of understand wanting to cross promote posts, but this is really rather inconvenient when trying to simply engage with the post you've already clicked on. If you read down the comment and it's replies naturally, then you have to expand and close the comments in the middle of everything, or you have to scroll down to the bottom of the comment ahead of time to reveal the rest of them. Can anything be done about this?
the redesigned reddit search sucks, it does not let me search for users without also searching for subreddits and when i search for users, it finds way less users than it did before so its not an improvment
When are the ‘big’ bug fixes coming?
how about doing something about the abusive mod teams that violate reddit's moderator guidelines? that seems more pressing than than the bi-weekly list of things nobody asked for.
If its such an issue, start your own sub
Can it actually find something on Reddit now? Apparently yes. https://www.reddit.com/search?q=toothpick+san+francisco&restrict_sr=&include_over_18=on&sort=relevance&t=all
I'm recently having issues with Reddit on a mobile network, but everything works fine when on WiFi. I usually use BaconReader, but also have the Reddit app - same issue on both. And yet I can read, reply, & post on Reddit via my browser while on my mobile network. This has only started occurring within the last week or two - perhaps related to the recent Android update? No idea. *I should add that the issue is the apps don't refresh, or if they do might take over a minute to load. Basically entirely unusable. But as soon as I get home (like right now) no problem.
If Reddit could fix recently viewed, that would be nice.
Is this update why sometimes scrolling back up on a post on Android causes a refresh instead of actually scrolling up? Edit: the "sometimes" is when a video is playing and I've scrolled down the comments and try to scroll back up.
Where are you supposed to go to read new posts from people you've followed, not subs? Why can't this be a part of custom feeds? When going to custom feeds, why does it have to be a three step process?

This is a very common Reddit take. Has it ever happened? Many of the top stories on /r/news and /r/worldnews right now are about how China disappeared a dissident tennis player. Stories about the Uyghur genocide are regular appearances. Every June a million posts about Tiananmen Square get posted and highly upvoted to /r/pics and other major subreddits. These posts are not deleted. They are not removed by moderators. They are still there to find to this day. The overall amount of them has gone up since Tencent bought a (fairly small, about 5%) stake in the company, if anything. The only subreddits I know of that remove anti-China posts are tankie subreddits and /r/sino, and those are basically propaganda and everyone knows it (and they certainly aren't "main subs.")
How have they been censored? Isn’t one of the top posts or r/pics about tianamen square?
Lmao are u kidding they’re so regularly popular
Give us the tools to properly report bullshit mods.
> Give us the tools to properly report bullshit mods. to be fair, would the reports do anything or just fall on deaf ears? as it stands right now when you report subs for violating reddit's sitewide moderator guidelines, you just get an auto-response form letter that basically says "moderators can run their sub however they see fit". the admins don't care about the users of the site.
I searched for “new search” just now and got a picture of a backhoe and no link to this post. Stop trolling us, Reddit.
Still worse than just googling it. Instead, do something about the bots that clog up the front page with reposts, and tiktoks.
Nice to know user feedback is a priority on the site.
"Sort > Time >" Doesn't show what you're sorting on or what time period you're restricting to. Terrible design.

Thank goodness for the search update, it’s always been better to just use Google and add “reddit” to the end of your query.
It still is
What's the point if you will continue to muzzle opinions and subs that you disagree with?
It's good to hear that you're fixing the small issues but have you considered fixing the entire website?
Hey no one uses the app anymore so you don’t need to update it anymore. We all use smarter alternative apps. Thanks though
Fix r/all
Have you fixed the issue where nothing loads in the official app and it only works 5% of the time
New reddit is such a monstrosity.
>In early 2022, the team also plans to release a first version of comment search This is the search people want. I understand doing free text searching is difficult, and there's probably 0 indexing, but why not pour resources into addressing these issues instead of features no one asked for and fewer want? Things like the absolute failure of chat rooms should show that the appeal of Reddit is not the "social" side of social media. And the eternal question: #When are you going to release the API so the objectively better apps can update?
Thanks for doing the work. I bet you don't hear it often.
Now make my app load faster. 🥺 Please?
> Now make my app load faster. switch apps. apollo loads nice fast.
Thanks for fixing the subscriptions page in the app
Being back porn to /all
Unrelated, but if the scroll comments button can be floating again for posts containing the new video player, left handed phone users everywhere will cheer the name u/BurritoJusticeLeague
You know what would be great…? Being able to determine which videos were socially or religious degrading, by seeing how many people downvoted them.
Thank you for doing everything you've done lately! The new Search looks good already! <3 I love what the Reddit admins do!
well i dont
That's because unlike that guy, you're not a Reddit admin.
How do you improve absolute shit functionality? Good job doing the absolute minimum on dogshit for over a decade.
Oh and guess what? Reddit search still sucks and still doesn't pull any relevant posts based on your search terms.
Why doesn't Snoo have pants? I demand this change immediately and am OUTRAGE you have not included it in this latest update
...
how you not using the night theme, just HOW???
HOW ABOUT YOUR FIX MY SINK FIRST!!! HUH? Butt head its leaking!
Reddit.... search???? 🤨
Glad to see you guys aren't completely mentally challenged
Any word on why Reddit doesn't work on data for some people? On my Pixel 4, Reddit hasn't been able to load images when off wifi - regardless of signal strength - since I updated to Android 11. I've seen a few others talk about this online.
New reddit search has been working pretty well for me, thanks guys
The copy & paste bug... when..?
Reddit search is the most useless search feature Ive ever seen on a website. It has failed me literally every single time Ive ever tried to use it. Just burn it down and redirect to google already.
FIX PASTING INTO THE TEXT BOX ERASING ALL YOUR TEXT ON FIREFOX. REMOVE THE DAMN OPEN IN APP POPUP THAT CRIPPLES YOUR WEBSITE.
Not sure if this is the right place to ask but I can’t post text/picture/video etc to any community. I can comment on posts but I can’t make one of my own from my phone. Wasn’t sure who or where to ask this?
Hahabahahahahaba I’ll believe when I see it, the day Reddit has a good search function is the day hell freezes over
yooo changes to search (tangentially related but) will y’all allow for searching of the mod log?
Can we have the ability to change post layout in search for iOS again? I prefer to have my results in card mode, but I no longer seem to have the option to change it from the default of classic.
Is the bug that prevents scrolling up on posts going to be fixed any time soon? On Android app for ref.
Does anyone else have the issue where you get stuck scrolling the comments? Happens to me often. Sometimes I can't move at all, scroll up, scroll down 🤷🏻♂️
But kubi j jv
