Try out alternative engines like You.com or Brave Search. They let you set reddit and other apps as a preferred source/show it on all relevant queries.

duckduckgo also has "bang operators" that allow you to specify site. An example is !r for reddit or !w for wikipedia

It's even nicer for some sites like Wikipedia because it goes directly to the page if theres an exact match instead of the intermediate search results page

those "bangs" were a good idea so we got them also at you.com
