[reddit change] New search results page (self.changelog)

tdohz[A] が 投稿

We just released a substantial update to the search results page on reddit.com. It looks like this. The goal of these changes is to make it easier to find the content you're looking for on reddit. Here are the highlights of what's new:

Incorporated subreddit results

Unbeknownst to most redditors, we actually have a separate subreddit search page. Now, you don't have to know about that page, because we directly search subreddits as well as posts from the main search box. Relevant subreddits are displayed right at the top of the results page along with useful information such as the number of subscribers and the subreddit description.

New format for post results

We've updated the post results to be more context-appropriate for search, by cleaning up the results to show only the most relevant information when you're looking for content on reddit: the thumbnail, title, and post metadata (score, comment count, date, author). Additionally, we now show an expandable text preview for self-posts, saving you a click in many cases.

We also changed the titles in post results to always link to the comments page on reddit rather than an external link. If it's a link post, we'll show the URL right below the result, so you're still only one click away from the linked URL. This provides a more consistent experience on search, regardless of whether a post is a self-post or link post: clicking on the title always takes you to the comments page on reddit; clicking on the URL below takes you to the external link, if there is one.

General UI refresh

We've also taken this chance to freshen up the search page and make it a little easier on the eyes, and faster to find what you're looking for, by adjusting spacing, font size & color, and general placement. Additionally, we added some simple search term highlighting to make it easier to find what you've searched for on the page.

These changes have been extensively beta-tested for the last month & a half, so special thanks to all of our beta testers. We made several changes based on their feedback, so if you're interested in helping to test out features before they're live to everyone, you can sign up for our beta program.

We'll be continuing to make improvements to search on reddit. In fact, we're currently beta-testing an update to the search algorithm for link posts, so if you're interested, please check it out.

Big thanks to u/madlee and u/florwat for their hard work on on these changes.

See the code behind these changes on Github: 1, 2, 3

Note: If you're a moderator, there are some special considerations you should be aware of related to these changes - please check out this modnews post to learn more about what actions you should take.

No. No. I immediately went to preferences to opt out of beta but it turns out I wasn't participating in it at all. Why are subreddits the top result? Now I have to scroll down to find the posts with the keywords I'm looking for. No one except a handful of new users will use the default search for finding subreddits. It's super annoying.

[–]jk3us 12ポイント13ポイント  (3子コメント)

There definitely should be options on that page to search subreddits, submissions, or both, and that should be remembered. Or be able to search subreddits with a subreddits:cats clause or something.

[–]bilbo_dragons 2ポイント3ポイント  (2子コメント)

I used to enter an address I knew wouldn't be real so it would redirect me to the subreddit search, since typing "reddit.com/r/lasdkjf" was faster than "reddit.com/subreddits"

[–]xLowDown 1ポイント2ポイント  (1子コメント)

You can just click "edit" on the subreddit bar though

[–]bilbo_dragons 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

I've used so many little style changes through RES for so long that I don't think I knew that existed. Reddit on a browser without it feels weird.

a more consistent experience

More consistent experience? If anything it made the experience more inconsistent. Most Reddit users figure out that clicking the title will take you to the most interesting - the submission, article, webpage, image, video or selfpost, and that clicking on the "comments" link will take you to ... the comments. Why suddenly decide to put a focus on the comments section? When I search for something through Reddit, 90% of the time I couldn't care less about the comments.

[–]Ph0X 39ポイント40ポイント  (0子コメント)

I honestly don't understand why it's so hard to grasp this concept for them? Every single person in this thread is saying the exact same thing, and there was a bunch of threads in /r/beta for months about this, yet they just won't fucking listen. They are so stubborn on this new design of theirs.

Why is it so hard to understand that having two completely different post layouts that act different is bad UX?! This is design 101.

[–]HoopyFreud 78ポイント79ポイント  (1子コメント)

No clear distinction between header and content

No clear separation between individual posts

Link behavior inconsistent with EVERY OTHER LINK ON THE SITE

Buttons are not immediately distinguishable from text elements.

Basic post-interaction behaviors not supported (report, hide, share), despite the fact that two of those behaviors are some of the reasons someone would search for a post in the first place

Tell me what designer approved this and I will kick them in the head. Less functionality, less clarity, and less consistency - the unholy trinity of website redesigns.

[–]S13S 18ポイント19ポイント  (0子コメント)

Right on the money. I don't get why they're changing they whole thing in the first place. It was perfectly functional and clear before this so is it just change for the sake of change?

[–]GoldenSights 178ポイント179ポイント  (20子コメント)

Woah, I'm not liking the new UI. Why should posts appear differently on the search results page than they do anywhere else? The title now links to the /comments/ page instead of the URL, which you've separated. What for?

I'm also noticing that the top comment on the feedback thread you linked to mentions needing a visual distinction between posts, which you didn't add. Several other comments express how hard it is to look at, and they were ignored.

Really not happy about this.

Edit: I also don't have a Next Page button any more. Presumably that's a RES issue, but I don't know how this made it out of beta.

[–]Ph0X 74ポイント75ポイント  (3子コメント)

Yep, everyone in /r/beta has been saying exactly what everyone here is saying for months now. Yet, they completely ignored all the feedback and went ahead pushing it to public... Enjoy your pitchfork and spam from angry users.

[–]TheWhiteeKnight 11ポイント12ポイント  (0子コメント)

I didn't think it was possible to make Reddit's search function worse, but they did. They fucking did it. I can not find a single fucking thing, I type in the exact title of a post and it'll show me a picture of Batman. And not the picture, it links to the post instead, so now RES doesn't even work on the search page. God damn this website has gotten so shitty. I'd move onto Voat.co if all the /r/FPH assholes didn't move there.

[–]Acadiaa 5ポイント6ポイント  (0子コメント)

Can you imagine if all of reddit doesn't change to reflect the new search ui?

[–]yvaN_ehT_nioJ 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

I for one approve of Glorious Leader's new changes.

Chairmen Pao's wisdom is helping lead Reddit into a new era!

[–]Providentia 46ポイント47ポイント  (5子コメント)

The amount of bloat and distraction, particularly from the subreddit listings section, truly is staggering. Honestly feels like it's centered around mobile viewers, and while I don't mind accommodating them it does feel like a kick in the nads for PC users (I don't need previews and the like, I can hover over the subreddit or open the post in a new tab if I think it's what I'm looking for).

[–]GoldenSights 17ポイント18ポイント  (1子コメント)

Absolutely. I'm using the search bar to find posts, not subreddits. New users might want that, but that needs to be at the bottom of the page, or an opt-out.

[–]SlendyTheMan 6ポイント7ポイント  (0子コメント)

If you typed a subreddit that didn't exist (for example /r/testsearchsubredd) that will lead to a search for subreddits.

[–]bobi897 15ポイント16ポイント  (0子コメント)

its horrible for mobile users though, so I don't understand who the fuck thought this was okay to greenlight lol

[–]alphanovember 9ポイント10ポイント  (0子コメント)

centered around mobile viewers

I'm fucking sick of web devs doing this. Every site looks like some shitty mobile app these days. It makes even less sense on reddit, which already has a 2 official mobile sites, plus some crappy official & unofficial apps! WTF admins.

[–]Pencildragon 7ポイント8ポイント  (0子コメント)

For RES users it's simply redundant. It's harder to find the information I was searching for now and if I wanted to preview a text post/picture/video before going to the comments I had that option already.

For non-RES users, the way they implemented the preview is garbage. You can't read enough of a text post for it to matter, there's giant spaces everywhere and it's STILL harder to find the information you were searching for.

A search function that makes it harder to search is fucking ridiculous.

[–]tf2manu994 25ポイント26ポイント  (7子コメント)

Add &feature=legacy_search to the end of your search urls

[–]DERPYBASTARD 8ポイント9ポイント  (3子コメント)

[–]____underscore_____ 15ポイント16ポイント  (0子コメント)

Please, reddit, change this back, or at least give the option of the older UI. It's much easier for me to find links, and I can't stand the spacing. Also I like having more than 3-4 subreddits pop up in the header. Giving some detail to what the subreddits are about is nice, but it doesn't make up for this whole change.

[–]Themole2114 6ポイント7ポイント  (0子コメント)

Also you can't expand images with RES on the new search page.

[–]TheChipmunkSeesAll 123ポイント124ポイント  (10子コメント)

This is absolutely terrible. Completely removes the ability to expand images or GFYs from the search results page. Maybe that's a feature of RES, but still, fucking horrible decision. Why? I don't care about searching for subreddits, I wanna search all of Reddit for pictures of something.

Edit: Oh, and I can't even go beyond the first page of results whilst RES is enabled. Fuck you. Were people really complaining that much?

[–]phyzome 20ポイント21ポイント  (9子コメント)

Every change breaks RES.

This is not the fault of reddit and not the fault of RES.

It's the nature of userscripts. They're aftermarket mods, and the admins can't be expected to use them in their own browsing. 1) If they did, they might miss the pain points of the regular site. 2) It's not their job to maintain RES compat; they're not responsible for that codebase, so if it does something wrong they can't really fix it.

[–]TheChipmunkSeesAll 27ポイント28ポイント  (5子コメント)

Why make the change? It was perfect before, for me at least.

[–]adescuentechable 8ポイント9ポイント  (1子コメント)

They're setting the stage for better ad placement.

Thanks, Ellen Pao.

[–]Yeager_Bombastic1 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Ad placement isn't necessarily bad, after all Reddit needs to make money to pay for servers, etc. The fucked up part comes when they refuse to listen to us and forced stupid changes that make the site worse. A lot of people are saying in this thread that they had been testing this on /r/beta and people didn't like it, and yet they still want to force this shit on us. Reddit is on a slippery slope

[–]phyzome 7ポイント8ポイント  (2子コメント)

I can only guess, but they might have done some user testing and found that it wasn't working for the majority of users, or for new users, etc.

Promoting subreddit search was probably the biggest motivator, since that is something reddit has struggled with for a while. Getting people into the smaller subs is what will keep reddit alive. I bet they took that as an opportunity to mess around with style changes they've been wanting to do at the same time...

[–]TheWhiteeKnight 7ポイント8ポイント  (0子コメント)

They've been doing user testing for the last four months with this new Search page, and not a single fucking person in /r/Beta has liked it, and people have been complaining for months that it's much worse. And they completely ignored all of that and implemented it anyways.

    [–]S13S 47ポイント48ポイント  (1子コメント)

    The new look is terrible. All you've done is made it harder to sift through the search results. I don't want my results to look like babbys first word document. Basically, it's takes up way too much screen space and its too hard to differentiate between posts.

    At least give us the option to change back to the old format.

    Edit: Clicking a link takes you to the comment section? Reddit. Seriously.

    Edit 2: Just tried it out on my tablet and it takes me way too long to scroll through all the new nonsense. Are you even trying, Reddit? Have some sort of public beta test before fully releasing things like this.

    Edit 3: Guess there was a beta test after all, doesn't change the fact that the new layout is bad.

    [–]SlendyTheMan 13ポイント14ポイント  (0子コメント)

    Many of the beta users bitched about this too. They don't listen anymore.

    [–]You-Can-Quote-Me 43ポイント44ポイント  (2子コメント)

    I'm not at all a fan of this.

    I can't vote on the search results. Why does clicking on a link bring me to a comment section? If I wanted to go to the comment section I would've clicked 'comments'.

    I had no clue that there was such a drastic outcry and distaste regarding how the previous search functioned. I mean, there must have been right? Because your comment suggesting that this is making it easier suggests people were complaining about the previous model.

    [–]llofdddddt5 32ポイント33ポイント  (0子コメント)

    People complained that the search algorithm sucked, but I didn't see anyone complain about the UI. Changing the UI instead of the actual search function is a complete waste of time and resources.

    Reddit is so poorly run, it's not even funny .

    [–]Yeager_Bombastic1 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

    The search system for reddit has always had troubles. It was hard to find something because of the way people titled their post and such. But for what it was it worked, and the design matched the rest of the site and wasn't this nonsense.

    [–]elfa82 81ポイント82ポイント  (28子コメント)

    You've effectively made moderating from the search page impossible. This is 100% why I stopped doing the beta testing. Is there any way to revert back to a useful search page?

    [–]alphanovember 13ポイント14ポイント  (0子コメント)

    There is, but like all the other unwelcome admin changes, it will be removed in a few weeks.

    Funny how the admins run a beta but completely ignore user feedback.

    [–]SarahLee 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

    Agree. I hate it for modding. Much, much harder to find duplicate submissions.

      [–]llofdddddt5 77ポイント78ポイント  (4子コメント)

      Why update the UI though? All you've done is make searching a complete pain in the arse, the search page isn't even consistent with the front page anymore.

      I used to like how reddit didn't waste time updating the UI every 6 months like youtube or facebook. Shame you had to abandon that principle.

      Edit: Here's what I'm talking about the frontpage and the search page. See how jarring that looks? It's like two different websites.

      [–]S13S 36ポイント37ポイント  (0子コメント)

      It's pretty goddamned terrible. What are you doing Reddit? It looks like some sort of mobile app on my friggin' desktop.

      Hint: That's bad.

      I kind of liked the redesign from an aesthetics point of view, and then I tried it. It their design isn't functional and keeps in line with the rest of the site, why do it? Reddit has never been a site that cared too much for it's visual design, and it's frankly better left to the individual subs

      [–]smokeybandit2 34ポイント35ポイント  (0子コメント)

      Reddit, are you trolling?

      [–]enderman 70ポイント71ポイント  (7子コメント)

      Can I turn it off.

      [–]llofdddddt5 25ポイント26ポイント  (5子コメント)

      Add &feature=legacy_search to the end of your URLs.

      It's not permanent, but it works.

      [–]Ph0X 27ポイント28ポイント  (2子コメント)

      Hopefully RES will take care of the extra work soon enough.

      [–]llofdddddt5 25ポイント26ポイント  (1子コメント)

      I feel like they should've given all that money they wasted on reddit notes to the creator of RES, purely for the work he's put in to make this site less of a mess. That team doesn't get nearly enough credit.

      [–]fritzly 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

      I don't like it. The IU did not need to be changed imo.

      Also, why are there two links that link the same thing? Look, if you click the main link, you go to the comments, if you click on the comments, you go to the comments...if you click the url, which should just be the main link, you go to the url.

      It's like you guys don't know how Reddit linked posts all this time...

      Edit: I will say I enjoy the new share function, don't think I saw a post about it. But finally it's done right instead of having only email sharing. But this is bad...

      [–]alphanovember 10ポイント11ポイント  (1子コメント)

      This was probably designed by the same idiots that a few months ago decided reddit should have fucking huge text, instead of being the minimalist masterpiece it had been for 10 years.

      They even got the same admin to make the announcement, /u/madlee.

      This search is even worse then before. Didn't realize that was possible. This has to be the worst search results page I've ever seen.

      Every search I've tried today hasn't returned the results i'm looking for. Either there are no results, or there are 1 or 2 which don't seem to have anything to do with what I was searching for. So I had to resort to using Google to find things.

      I like that subreddits show up though, I didn't know about the separate subreddit search page. (Seems weird to have different searches like that.) The thing is though, I haven't tried to search for a subreddit today and so far those results have just gotten in the way.

      • Clicking takes you to comments, with no way to expand info from the results

      • It looks jarringly different from the rest of reddit, and so on

      [–]josh1622 17ポイント18ポイント  (0子コメント)

      Please change this back to the more useful search page. I don't understand why you would make it worse

      [–]dinosaur_friend 16ポイント17ポイント  (0子コメント)

      Is this change even necessary? It hasn't added better search functionality. That white shadow effect obscuring post content is an eye-sore, and the 'more' button doesn't need to be there. Placing the 'too many results?' box at the bottom is stupid, it should always be at the top. And I get a 'next' button at the bottom of the page taking me to a blank page for some reason. I assume the previous page displayed all of the search results already and this is a bug--I have the option to show the max amount of links (100) on a page enabled.

       

      I'm miffed that my search results page changed even though I've never opted into beta testing. Please give us the option to choose between the new one or the legacy search results page, at least.

      [–]f8s 14ポイント15ポイント  (0子コメント)

      welp you actually went ahead with that terrible search. I left the beta because of it, guess I can't avoid it now. the least you could have done, if you weren't going to take any feedback from the beta is to hire a UX designer (or hire a competent one if you already have one).

      (also what's with the new weird expando, hope that's not a preview of the front page.)

      Aw man! I hated the new search! It just didn't work! If I click the link, send to to the link, not the bloody comments section!

      Ugh! Now I'm stuck with this search forever >:(

      (subreddit search was a nice touch, but they could have made it better)

      [–]longteimlurker 11ポイント12ポイント  (0子コメント)

      I don't mean to say this in ill will or to insult any of people that were and are working on it (I mean i really appreciate what you've all done to this page as it is) b.. but why? In my opinion the search page wasn't lacking any essential features. It didn't look bad or "not fresh"...

      And if I wanted to find any subreddit, I just typed in this! and it redirected me to /subreddits/ search page. I mean look how clearer it looks than the current sub search!

      Now it looks like a search page from another website, like it doesn't even belong here (and I hope that the rest of reddit will stay the same).

      Why are results only on half of the screen? And why is the "narrow it down to a subreddit" box on the end of a page and not below on the search bar? I hope there will be at least a possibility to change back to the old form for old users.

      I apologize if this comment doesn't look great, it's my first.

      [–]ZadocPaet 21ポイント22ポイント  (3子コメント)

      I am honestly surprised that this rolled out. I recall the response in /r/beta to be largely negative.

      There are three major problems with this new search:

      1. It reverses the order of the links. On reddit the top link is the link to the content and the bottom link is the link to the thread. here it's opposite. Even though I've been using this new search for a while now I still mess this up often.

      2. It doesn't show the upvotes next to the post.

      3. None of the link tools appear; search, save, hide, remove, spam, report, et cetera. I know we have the legacy search link, but it's a pain to switch back and forth. These changes are particularly bad for mods.

      I feel like if these three things were fixed then this would be K.

      This isn't the first time the admins have received an overwhelmingly negative response to a site change. The last time was late last year and then in January when they made all the body text goddamn huge. They are showing a clear pattern of "we don't give a fuck lul" now. Between this and all the unwelcome other stuff that they've been doing for the last ~year (including censorship), it's starting to seriously seem like the beginning of the end for reddit.

      It broke one of reddit's defining features, its text-dense minimalism.

      Definitely not a fan of the changes. It's a lot harder to actually find what you want and the format doesn't match the rest of Reddit.

      It was a lot easier beforehand to find things but the new format doesn't let you vote, save, or moderate the posts without actually entering them.

      Preview is missing too, so now you can't view a link without actually clicking on it.

      Narrowing the search down by subreddit should still be on the top, not the bottom.

      Is there any way for me to change it back? It's not conducive for me, and I'm sure that others feel the same way. The old search UI worked just fine. It's only two hours in and you've gotta hardly a single piece of positive feedback.

      A while back they removed the numbers next to posts (On the front page where it says 1, 2, 3, etc.). People complained and it was reversed. https://www.reddit.com/r/changelog/comments/231bpl/reddit_change_ranks_added_back_to_the_front_page/

      They also made it so links open in a new browser tab for logged-out users. There was an uproar and they reversed the change. https://www.reddit.com/r/changelog/comments/2kx48k/reddit_change_links_no_longer_open_in_a_new/

      we now show an expandable text preview for self-posts

      You already had that - it was the little plus symbol, remember? It was really great for when you actually see a post that you want to read more about and being able to expand on that one only, instead of now going through a sea of half-hidden posts with this new UI.
      For me, personally, I don't care about the body of a self post unless the title actually interests me. It's just clutter and garbage to me.

      What's the point of the weird upvote+downvote arrow icon that's squished together and you can't even vote with or see if/what you voted on a post?

      Everything looks crammed together on one line. Needs more breathing room.

      For now, I'll keep using &feature=legacy_search to use the old search page.

      [–]Pencildragon 7ポイント8ポイント  (0子コメント)

      I have one page of search results then it asks me to specify a subreddit. After which it still only gives me one page of search results. I don't know if this is some bi-product of using RES, but if this is a site wide "feature" then you officially made the worst search function ever.

      This search engine is infuriating. It was easier in the past. you had multiple subreddits that you could look into, the spacing was fine, now you can't even see more than a few results on a page. It's more annoying than helpful.

      I don't like it and here are two reasons why: It displays fewer posts in the same amount of space. The post preview isn't very useful because many times when you're searching it's for information contained in comments.

      It's SO bad. It looks terrible and somehow displays information even worse than before. Why is the huge box of subreddits displayed above everything else? What happened to the score? Why did you remove the controls that appear everywhere else? Why do the posts practically blend into each other?

      How can I opt out of this disaster?

      These changes have been extensively beta-tested for the last month & a half, so special thanks to all of our beta testers.

      Don't thank them, they didn't tell you to trash this design and try something else. Never mind, do thank them. I checked and the beta testers told you not to release this. Not their fault that you didn't listen.

There wasn't really a reason to change it... the design is now inconsistent with the rest of Reddit and less clear. Does it look so different because it's a precursor to a full site redesign?

      I actually tried out the beta the other day and disabled it because of the search, I never dreamed it would be rolled out as-is with all the feedback in /r/beta.

      This new search results are horrible. Not only do you have to scroll down to find the results you want but you now have this weird formatting which is a pain to read and actually find what you are looking for.

      I really hope they either change it back or actually make it functional and readable as well as getting rid of the compulsory subreddit search every time you do a search. It is actually really sad since I use the search functionality often.

      [–]pornysponge 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

      I dislike:

      • having to scroll down to see any results with my 1366x768 resolution. See this comparison

      • the points count is far less prominent.

      • no longer being able to save great posts from the search page

      • that the "narrow it down to a subreddit" thing has been moved down the page.

      • The more... less... buttons are not in the same place. If you expand a long text post you have to scroll to the botton to close it rather than just clicking again.

      I like:

      • the text post preview snippets

      • that the titles now always link to comments, not just in text posts. I don't like having to click that tiny "69 comments" link. *

      RES bugs (will probably be patched)

      • If never ending reddit is enabled, the "Next" button disappears, leaving no way to advance to the next page of results
      • Inline image expander is gone.

      *it may not be consistent, but i think that is a problem with the rest of reddit. it should be optional, though
