You’ve clearly never tried to use the reddit search. It is almost guaranteed NOT to give you meaningful results.
The benefit of using a search engine is knowing that it will give you the results you want, and not having to rely upon the sites’ own search implementations.
That obviously does not imply that one needs to use Google specifically, but I commonly will add “reddit” to a search query on any search engine to get the results I’m looking for.
