Bing is fine. DDG uses it. Adding reddit to your search is an old trick. Only searching with TikTok was new and weird for me. I have no Idea how this works.

Considering the TikTok user demographics, you'd do better without its search results.

If you want to push the "reddit search trick" further, CrowdView expands it to include other forums that have a higher signal to noise ratio than the rest of the internet.
