That’s a bummer about the cloudsearch functionality and I’m sure we wouldn’t mind adding it back, but definitely no malice there. Reddit’s search was not exactly great before... so moving it to a completely new backend was necessary. https://www.reddit.com/r/changelog/comments/6pi0kk/improving...

Reddit search was incomplete but powerful, and a major factor in my choosing the platform over alternative, particularly Ello (no effective search) or G+ (none until earlier this year).
Most key: searching for my own posts.
Other factors: CSS, markdown. Notifs are middlin'. Fostering conversation: utterly broken.
Nuking my sub's CSS in the new version is among unpardonable offenses.

Reddit are burning massively through goodwill.
