Yeah, Reddit's search is unusable. Some of the important features used to be corralled into CloudSearch but I think they killed that too.

I pulled the dumps from Bigquery and am going to load them into PG at some point here, so I can do arbitrary queries without hitting BigQuery every time. Haven't looked at how to do that in realtime though, retrospective queries are mostly what I'm interested in.

If you don't want to do that, there's also https://redditsearch.io/ - if you want to search back farther, be sure to set the toggle to "all" instead of "day"!

I built redditsearch.io -- It uses the pushshift API for the back-end. It was thrown together and barely works but hey, I'm just one guy maintaining this as a labor of love. :)
