    In fairness to Brave, Google has been scaling back search features too, over time. Do you remember when it would allow you to search a date range? Melpomene Farms remembers.

      What is the reason for removing search functionality? Is it really just to make it harder to find what people want and potentially be served more ads? Hopefully site:whateverbutprobablyreddit.com never goes on the chopping block.

        People will search for something, won’t see it below a bunch of ads, then go back and make a more specific search so they can be served more ads.
