    It is - but you can still access via archive.org and similar resources.

        You can copy the address of the search result into the way back machine or Google cache

          You’re absolutely right, true, but that will work for you and me, but not for your typical user, even the more advanced ones will be stumped at that point

            Google should just redirect to the archived page if the link to Reddit is dead.

            It’s also a super clunky way to search. If I’m skimming posts for technical issues that I need a quick turnaround for, I’m probably not going through that hassle unless I’m desperate.
