I tried @r and unfortunately it searches www.reddit.com instead of old.reddit.com

Redirects solve that - https://help.kagi.com/kagi/features/redirects.html

“!r headphones”, would redirect the user to Reddit’s internal search.

I'd rather just give up than send something there. Genuinely think their search tech is held together with chewing gum and faith.

The platform can't even find my own posts, not search just list. i.e. in my user profile look at posting history. Bunch missing. One of their employees looked at it, found a way to recover some of the post history, but it's still not complete (>75% missing). 6bn dollar company...can't return a user's posts reliably.

I love all the customization features but I cannot use them with Privacy Pass sadly. Anonymity is more important to me.

Good documentation is a tell-tale sign of a great product and a company that puts users first

(Relevant because DF is an Apple-focused blog): I wish Apple would go back to writing good documentation. Developer documentation in particular seems to have decayed.

I was trying to do something in Apple Shortcuts and tried searching the web for documentation, as I usually do. I came up empty and was very frustrated. AI also seemed of little help due to the lack of accessible web documentation to train on.

Then, almost out of desperation, I went to the Help menu and find pretty rich documentation. Having this documentation built into the app used to be the norm, but I think most users aren’t in the habit of looking there.

While this doesn’t solve all of Apple’s documentation problems, I figured it’s worth mentioning for anyone who may have been ignoring the Help menu with the idea that everything is online.

Good point - the Mac User Guide is also accessible from the Finder's Help menu.

Though I think there should be an option to download the whole thing locally so that it could work offline.

So its just a shorthand for a feature every other search engine already has?
