Well, it only gives a bigger reason for other search engines to index the competition.

Kagi can still search Reddit content tho (blocked part of url because I have Kagi rewrite url to redirect to my private Redlib instance)
I think this is because they use some sources from Google and Brave?

I had no idea this was a thing. Thats going straight on my self-host todo list.

And I'm doing the opposite over here lol
-
not everyone want to pay though

Yeah, I know, Reddit is just being asshole for another time as we all know
-

Fine by me - I don't use or like any of them, AND they will make sure I won't see them elsewhere? Jackpot

Brave is chromium dressed nicely.
No competition here.

Is google still a thing!?

You just sound stuck up when you say that. Like “is windows still a thing? I didn’t know because I use Linux. Don’t you?”
Of course Google is still a thing, by far it’s still the largest search engine in use on the planet, so most people won’t notice it. If anything, this hurts all the not-Google users. Can you imagine if different sites started signing exclusivity deals with different search engines?

The last time I used Google, I searched for timer app, the result was blue light filter! No timer in the first 6 pages! The result was always irrelevant.

It's a good day to be a metasearch engine user. No need to worry right now about one company essentially having a monopoly on indexing a certain site.

I though it is only Google, now Brave join ? What about Bing ? Do they chip in soon ?

Just use ddg bangs if you use Duckduckgo and you can search reddit directly.
!reddit search termIt still picks up latest posts related to reddit, it just searches reddit directly instead of searching Bing's results. It's that simple.
yes. Also, !r is reddit also.
Even better. Thanks, been a while since I've looked up specific ddg bangs.
This has historically worked because Bing (from which DDG draws results) previously indexed Reddit. What indications do we have that it will work after this change? As I read the articles, I thought it wouldn't work going forward.
Bangs don't actually search w/ Duckduckgo, they just redirect your search to whatever search provided is configured for that bang. In this case, it just goes to reddit.com and uses its search function. They're really handy when you definitely want results from a given service and don't want to type out "site:service.com" or whatever.
