View submission: What's up with Reddit Search?

Huzzah! I'd definitely recommend offering at least the same functionality as PushShift's RedditSearch[1]. Being able to restrict results by custom date ranges is quite useful.

It'd also be useful to have searching by flair made more accessible and reliable.

I'd like to second this suggestion for custom date ranges on searches. A practical example is finding top posts on a franchise subreddit for an older release - For example, if I want to find those discussions I missed from when Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire were released in late 2014, I may want to search by top posts from November 21, 2014 to January 21, 2015 on /r/Pokemon.

I'd also like to say that I would use a custom date option a LOT!

Custom date range would be amazing for so many things. As a mod, trying to find previous instances of things, for example.

It used to allow searching by date. They took it out.
