Boolean-style Reddit search: AND, OR, and quoted phrases

Reddit’s search is more forgiving than older docs claim, but it still rewards clean syntax. This guide covers operators that actually work and where they break—so you can write better keyword lists for RedNudge.

Operators that reliably work

Quoted phrases for exact matching and the minus operator for exclusions hold up best. Boolean ANDs implicitly combine tokens; explicit OR is hit-or-miss on the current search stack.

Where automation wins

Even with good operators, manually re-running searches is the real cost. RedNudge handles cadence, deduplication, and AI relevance so your Boolean work compounds.
