Searching from within Reddit has always been terrible, Lemmy’s internal search is very slightly better imo to that low bar. Search engine results are an interesting challenge just because of the way federation works, it’s information accessible from all sorts of pages.
I’d imagine to get something like that to work, we’d need a proper “Fedisearch” tool that can crawl and aggregate content across the entire ActivityPub Fediverse to reduce duplication, then search engines would hook into those results, rather than trying to make the Fediverse compatible with SEO algorithms.
