It's up to the subreddit's mods whether the search bar does a local or global search.

It's obviously in Reddit's interest for users to be able to search site-wide, but mods can change this behavior.

Seems a fair setup to me.

Very strange to put that in the mods control. Why would the mods have any idea or care for what users search for? Reddit has all the data about what users usually want and users know what they actually want, I don't see where mods come in

Is it? I'm pretty sure they just remember the setting from last time you searched, I don't see this setting anywhere in the subreddits I mod
