I wanted to ask a technical questions, maybe high level, on why sites may have bad search and what the bottlenecks might be in almost never updating such in years. Was there something in the original development of the stack that is affecting progressive updates around the feature, how should one approach “Search” then in this case? Or is it simply a management issue.

    True, it would seem though, Google tackles a more complex problem, while Reddit or the like deals with its own specific data that has a predefined format that they know of.

    Looking at what other users clicked on after doing similar searches. Yeah, I feel Reddit just doesn’t account for these things, because requires way more work maybe to add as weights, if I am thinking of it correctly
