    What is the reason for removing search functionality? Is it really just to make it harder to find what people want and potentially be served more ads? Hopefully site:whateverbutprobablyreddit.com never goes on the chopping block.

      People will search for something, won’t see it below a bunch of ads, then go back and make a more specific search so they can be served more ads.

      I’ve tried site and my results on images seemed… less than optimal, but I’ll try again tonight.

      I’m at a loss at to why. Isn’t search supposed to be capable of… you know… searching?
