You ought to try using duck duck go. It's all about being a portal to other search services.

Ie, searching for `foo` on reddit is: "!r foo"

The problem with that is it redirects you to the Reddit search page, which isn't great. It's much better for me to use "site:reddit.com [query]" on DDG than to use the !r.
Duck Duck Go is great at naive searches, though having context into why I'm searching for something can be helpful too.

I couldn't make the switch over for my work while programming.
