In the past, we would type something like site:reddit.com into a search engine to get to the resource we needed. In the meantime, I have already found a few useful tips on Lemmy instances by using the Lemmy search. But since all Lemmy instances are named differently, a simple site:lemmy won’t work well in a search engine.

Do you see a solution for this? Or do we leave this to the search providers to figure out?

    What search engine(s) are we talking about? I recognize OP’s syntax as something that works in Google, but maybe it works in Bing too? I’m not familiar with “intext”, what engine(s) does it work with?

      Google and any metasearch engine that uses Google results like Startpage, Leta, SearX, etc. Not sure about Bing.

          Yeah, my bad. It was on mind so I just typed it even though it’s unrelated to what I was thinking.
