This is a clear sign of a product team that understands how it's product is being used. Most people my age (mid 20s) will default to google as search, but will also add the term "reddit" to the end of the search. We want to be able to organize our searches by what appears on on reddit first.
Why?
There is some deep psychological answer here, to which i don't know, but my best guess is that we don't want to see what some random article says - we want to hear from other people who have experienced our actual problems.
Reddit built for this. Hats off.
