Ask HN: Has Reddit search suddenly gotten better?

4 pointsby Sai_about 1 year ago
The other day, I attended an open mic in my hometown and, still buzzing from the experience, wanted to search my hometown&#x27;s biggest sub to see what they were saying about that open mic venue.<p>So, I visited the sub and typed in the name of the venue in the search box. Just the name, mind you - no reference to open mics or jam sessions or whatever. The name is something like &quot;bojoboes&quot; which also does not refer to open mics and jam sessions.<p>Somehow, Reddit was able to surface a single thread with 3-4 comments from two years ago which referenced open mics and jam sessions BUT had NO direct or partial reference to &quot;bojoboes&quot;. Instead, people had named one other venue which wasn&#x27;t anything like &quot;bojoboes&quot;.<p>So, here what reddit was able to do - identify that &quot;bojoboes&quot; exists, figure out that it is an open mic venue, then key word search &quot;open mic&quot; from the UGC and surface that one thread, all within a few seconds.<p>Can someone else replicate this with things they are familiar with?

there is search on Reddit beyond finding subs or posts in a given sub?
