View submission: What's up with Reddit Search?

In the search of the old reddit you can enter the URL of a web page and it will then list all posts that have this URL as topic. This is great for finding reposts and existing discussions about a particular web page.

For example, let's say I just discovered that the original Space Jam website from 1996 is still operational. In the old reddit I can just enter the complete URL (https://www.spacejam.com/[1]) in the search bar and it will give me the list of reddit posts about this page[2] that other people already posted.

1: https://www.spacejam.com/

2: https://old.reddit.com/submit?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.spacejam.com%2F

It would be great it this functionality was added to the new reddit search.

Try `url:https://www.spacejam.com/` for your search query. That should surface a list of link posts with that link. Here's an example[1].

1: https://www.reddit.com/search/?q=url%3Ahttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.spacejam.com%2F&source=recent

Happy searching, and thank you for this feedback!
