Reddit improved search — increased usage, AI features and impact on retention

Friends, I’d like to share an update from the tech world: Reddit has invested in search and introduced AI features.

CEO Steve Huffman: weekly search users grew 30% YoY; DAU/WAU and query volumes have risen significantly.

Search has become a driver of acquisition and retention; integration of Reddit Answers and an AI product-placement test in the US were noted.

Platform: 493M WAU (+23%), 126M DAU (+17%); machine translation into 30+ languages; quarterly revenue $663M.

Why it matters: 40% of discussions are commercial, and 84% of buyers feel more confident after researching on Reddit — improved search enhances conversion.

How do you assess search’s role in user retention?
