One of the most unforgivable things about reddit is how pathetic the search engine is, considering the amount of free, top notch information is captured there and you need google +reddit to get at it, what can we do to make federated alternatives self searchable ?

I work for a small company that runs a website with lots of information and our search has always sucked. We tried several tweaks and free solutions - the final decision was to pay for search which is what we did and it is awesome now, but expensive. A major company like Reddit should be able to figure it out, but search is harder than most people realize. Google just makes it look easy.
