You can search Reddit from DuckDuckGo by adding '!r' to your search terms. This is how I search most of the time these days for the exact reasons you mention above. DuckDuckGo has many other bang shortcuts like that too, like '!w' for Wikipedia. Actual search engine results are too manipulated, but they make great link aggregators.

Note that "!r <foo>" is different than "site:reddit.com <foo>". The former redirects you to reddit's own search, the latter keeps you on DDG but restricts the results to reddit.com.

I prefer "site:reddit.com" but honestly it's only because I'm used to it. I search in-app on mobile frequently (which I assume is the same as the on-site search) and it's generally pretty good. It usually finds something for me but sometimes using an external search engine works better.

Also, you can set up custom search prefixes for more obscure sites you visit regularly using Firefox (potentially Chrome too).
