      And to stop it from guessing what it thinks you really meant, change it to “Verbatim” search mode under the Tools button, bottom right below the search bar.

      That used to work until reddit started a war against it’s own moderators and made a lot of people leave to Lemmy.

      Reddit is in a slow death spiral I believe.
