You can just combine the two, without the need of an extension - use Google to search within Reddit.

Say you want to search Reddit for pancakes - your Google search would be

pancakes site:reddit.com

And Google will return the matches it found on reddit.com. Alas in what I've used it, it won't work with subreddits (like doing "pancakes site:reddit.com/r/pancakes")

Can also search like this:

   pancakes site:reddit.com intitle:"/r/memes"
Will show results for pancakes from Reddit, from the memes subreddit.

You can also include the subreddit in the site operator for the more lazy of us i.e.

pancakes site:reddit.com/r/memes

Can't force it to return the old.reddit.com versions, unfortunately.

You just need a redirect rule to do it, right?

You could also just do:

> pancakes site:reddit.com/r/memes

I use that quite often to restrict to a subreddit and it works well in my experience.

For more complex queries, you can use https://github.com/pushshift/api.
