Have you tried googling something like: <technical issue> site:reddit.com ?

The results look relevant but often refer to other posts you don’t see if going to the link.

and a site:reddit.com with timestamp (last month etc) is useless now since it apparently uses timestamps off other posts that were visible in the same community once. Driving me avsolutely insane that this one site doesnt give accurate results on google.

There's also Pushshift[0], a Reddit analytics project that also offers a custom search engine[1]. It's clutched out significantly better results than either Google with site: tags or Reddit's native search, the few times I've had reason to try it.

Indeed. I've found that what works best for me is to use an account with my subreddits subscribed to. This way, I don't get tempted to go to the home page.
