This would be so fucking annoying, I don't use reddit day to day anymore but it's still a useful research tool when I see results from it on Google. I don't hate their search feature quite as much as some but I still don't want to use it most of the time.
This seems so dumb for them to do, I feel like having their content listed on search engines is s major advantage they have over Facebook et al.
Public Facebook posts are indexed in Google. I think public groups are too. There's just so much content (given how much larger Facebook is) that I doubt Google actually indexes every single public post.
