Reddit Eliminates “Advanced Search” Feature

I am not sure if anyone noticed or not, but Reddit.com has removed the advanced search option from it’s site. I used to use advanced search strings like “(site:brentcsutoras.com)” to check if anyone had submitted my posts to Reddit.

Amazingly we spent quite a bit of time talking about the evolution of the spammer, SEO, and Social Media Marketing. It was very interesting and I really felt the team listened and was willing to really discuss the various topics.
