PG is wrong, search is a very useful feature. Even more so for a site like reddit where submissions can be in different subreddits.

If search weren't useful, why is there searchyc? And every few weeks a topic about why there is no search function?

Is there some reason that using Google isn't good enough? Most of my trouble searching reddit is because it's hard to translate "that picture of a guy with a bacon helmet" into something Google understands.

I didn't say it wasn't useful. I just said there are better things to work on with our limited resources.
