Reddit’s new search experience is fully rolled out to web users, with design updates for its Android and iOS applications in the pipeline.

The platform said in a blog post detailing updates that were implemented from Nov. 5 through 18, “In addition to updating the look of Reddit search, the search team is continually improving search relevance (aka, improving the results themselves) through a series of experiments.”

Reddit also began rolling out a new GraphQL-powered application-programming interface that will make its search experience faster and more reliable.

Up next for Reddit’s search team is a planned release of the first version of comment search early next year, and the company is seeking input from Redditors on its recent changes to search and changes or improvements it should consider.
