This smart Reddit answer engine puts Google Search to shame

Fast Company: “…Reddit recently launched its own interactive search system for finding worthwhile info across the site. It’s called Reddit Answers. And I’ve legitimately been blown away by how useful and effective of a resource it can be. You’ll only need about 20 seconds to see what it can do. Just open up the Reddit Answers website, then type any question or general search query into the box in the center of the screen. The key here is to think about this as a specific sort of supplement for your standard searching. Reddit probably isn’t the place to turn for objective facts, definitions, or any other such info. But it is an unmatched repository of genuine human opinion on a huge range of topics, and Reddit Answers helps you navigate that sea of sentiment better than any other tool I’ve tried…What makes Reddit Answers especially interesting for me is not only the info it gives you but also the way in which it structures it. Instead of just serving up scattered answers, it shows you smart summaries along with links to specific threads for more detailed reading. It’s like a gateway into a wild and often unapproachable jungle of popular perspectives—a starting point that makes it infinitely easier to explore that info without having to scroll through a zillion different pages and put it all together on your own.
- Reddit Answers works entirely on the web, in whatever browser you like.
- It’s free.
- And you don’t have to sign in or share any sort of personal info to use it. That being said, you will be limited to 10 queries a week if you don’t sign in (and a regular Reddit account is free and easy to create).”
