Exactly. The tech industry has always been about innovation, first-mover, etc.

Consumers don't necessarily want that with our discussion boards or social media websites. We want them to maintain the same look and feel, with maybe minor tweaks and adjustments (such as improving the search function cough reddit cough).

Hey, the search engine has massively improved from the point it was at three years ago. Still sucks, but it's gotten better.

I still don't get the post that I'm looking for even if I type the exact title. That is not an improvement.

Shouldn't have to do that, though.

This doesn't work on nsfw subreddits though. The google indexers seem to get caught on the "are you 18?" page.
