This trick used to be common before embedded searches were actually decent. Wikipedia in particular took a long time before their search was even close to "site:wikipedia.org [search term]". I think the saddest part is that people seemed to forget about it for so long until realizing they could use it for Reddit too. So far the trick seems to work for lemmy if you point it at an arbitrary instance like lemmy.world, the content just isn't quite there yet.
I think people forgot how things were before apps and the centralization of social media in so few domains.
People forgot web browsers are the app of all apps.
Search will probably come down to you having a personal AI agent that will broker with other AI agents for relevant data. It will likely become a hell scape.
