"site:reddit.com" is significantly more burdensome to type than "reddit", particularly on phone keyboards.

I use DDG, which simply doesn't handle just putting "reddit" at the end of things very well compared to google, and no mobile keyboard makes typing "site:reddit.com" easy given the punctuation and the auto-inserted spaces, so I typically just end up doing "reddit g!" to deal with it and just use google.

On iOS I use Text Replacement to replace (e.g.) "sr" by "site:reddit.com".

Clever... I might have to steal this one.

Or you can search your topic on Reddit using DDG by “topic !r”

See the grandparent, which rightly asserts that reddit search is bad.

or use !greddit, which searches on google with site:reddit.com added at the end.
