If you put site:reddit.com it Google will only return results from reddit.com

Not even this is a guarantee. This happens to me regularly:

Interesting! I get all Reddit results on my laptop (Safari), but on my Android (Edge and Chrome) I get Good Housekeeping and NYTimes before Reddit. Some kind of ad? Though when I click on the three dots next to the result, it says it's not an ad. Odd.

Any Googlers want to chime in?

Yes, there's a particular bug that sometimes happens on mobile with some queries. It's relatively recent; we're aware and working to resolve it, because site: really should only show content from the indicated site.

I’ve had it for at least six months, almost always around product-related queries.
