    No way, is this real? Seems like it would be a huge news story. Has Google ever had a specific search filter for a third-party website?

      It’s absolutely real. “Adding Reddit to Google searches to actually find useful information” isn’t a meme, it’s what people are really doing. And since Google has (allegedly) killed search operators, it’s the only way to cut through the uselessness that Google search has become. Although, I do have a sneaking suspicion it’s actually added by whatever AI they have on their backend that generates “useful” filters, not something Google itself directly added.

        Ahh that would make sense.
