Since reddits search function is a hot pile of garbage, I mostly used google to find threads when I needed community based information.

Problem is I don’t know how to look tings up here via google
Should I give up the convenience of searching things from my address bar and use the built in search,or is there some secret sauce for googling stuff?
Someone made a multi-instamce search that is pretty great imho. its at https://fedi-search.com . You can choose which search engine you like even. I just added the favicon to my bookmark bar and use that when I specifically want Lemmy results.
Thank you to the developer for not pulling a lmgtfy and using a search engine wrapper injected with its own ads.
Type:
site:lemmy.world [search term here]
The wildcard works too, so
site:lemmy.*
will show you results from more instances thansite:lemmy.world
but will still omit stuff from instances like beehaw.org for example.I suspect that there’s going to be a more elegant solution to this problem in the coming months.
I already knew about the site: operator(?), but didn’t know it accepts wildcards. Great tip thanks!
I have submitted “!lemmy” to DDG as one of their Bang indicators. See if it gets approved. Saw this topic over on Lemmy.world where someone mentioned this, but it seems like i cant login into lemmy.world or crosspost, or even see all teh comments on this page. Still learning!
