It is really impressive. It's been hiding in plain sight yet not implemented that people want to search specific social media sites and we add reddit or twitter at the end of our search to get those results .

Ya for real! That is basically what this new UX is trying to enable. Just more columns of views.

I've been just seeing people swiping for more on snapchat and tiktok, thinking that UX design must be good to use for evolving something else. And hit upon trying it for search.

Let me know if you have other specific search columns I should add!

Now you need to add tiktok as a column to capture those gen Z users using it as a search engine [1]

Reddit: I prefix my searches with Reddit whenever I want to read community discussion about something (e.g “Reddit best waffle iron”)

Edit: it’s over there on the right. I just missed it initially. Swank!

it's already a thing since forever, just a quick one from the top of my head https://www.social-searcher.com/google-social-search/?q=Paul...
