Reddit Enhances Search Functionality and Introduces Google’s AI Tools

Reddit’s Subpar Search Addressed Through Enhanced Partnership with Google

Reddit has often faced criticism for its inadequate search functionality, prompting many users to rely on Google Search instead. However, in a recent announcement, Reddit revealed its intention to maintain its existing search system while expanding its collaboration with Google.

Under this new agreement, Google will gain access to Reddit’s Data API, allowing for improved content and community discoverability on the platform. In a joint statement, Reddit and Google Cloud announced plans to enhance the platform by integrating new AI-powered capabilities.

Google’s involvement will focus on implementing more content-centric displays of Reddit information, aiming to enhance user engagement within the platform’s unique discussions. Furthermore, Google intends to utilize the Reddit Data API to gain deeper insights into content and refine its search engine’s ability to present information accurately and contextually.

Despite this expanded partnership, Google assures that its utilization of publicly available crawlable content for indexing and displaying Google products will remain unchanged. Additionally, Reddit has recently partnered with an undisclosed AI company, agreeing to a $60 million per year contract allowing its content to be used for AI training purposes.

This news follows Reddit’s announcement of plans for its initial public offering (IPO). According to documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Reddit reported a net income of $18.5 million during the October-December quarter, marking its first profit in two years. With a total revenue of $249.8 million, Reddit aims to list its shares on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol RDDT.
