DuckDuckGo hasn’t been returning good reddit results for months… sigh. (Sometimes reddit has the only discourse on e.g. some error a SaaS product is throwing.)

Ha ha, Reddit went to the dark side and I abandoned them months ago. So who cares what they do now.

It's honestly a travesty what's happened to Reddit. If I want to search for a forum topic or something where random people give their honest opinions, Reddit was about the only place left on the internet and now that's gone too.
I mean, the people still exist and the need for honest opinions is still there. We just need to find a new place where money isn't such a big problem (although it will always be a problem to some degree). I really think a more stable and easy to use Lemmy could attract a large crowd.
Reddit has been viral marketing for over a decade. Very little of what is on there should be taken at face value in terms of reviews of products. The only thing it's good for is to find information about fixes for things or some very broad generic info.
The recent crowdstrike debacle had a fix on their subreddit before it was communicated anywhere else. Stuff like that is still relevant at least.

Best search meta is "searchterm -reddit +forum" anyway
Use -site:reddit.com if you don't want to exclude sites that mention reddit
Personally, I really wish it was as easy to search for Lemmy posts with a search engine as it is with Reddit. Idk, maybe I'm doing it wrong.
Kagi does it
I use kagi; love it. As an embedded systems developer I'm more productive with it.
