I’ve heard you can do a google search and append say kbin.social to get results just from kbin, but if I wanted to treat the fediverse’s content like reddit’s, is there a way to do the google search on just everything that’s on the fediverse?

edit:
I’ve been hearing people will want to make search tools to help us search the fediverse, and in the future even give us options on our servers to opt out of being indexed if we want.

Also this is a search site someone else recommended where you can choose which search engine to search the fediverse: https://fedi-search.com

    Maybe I’m just being dumb, but wouldn’t site: kbin.social also catch everything that kbin.social is federated with? You wouldn’t of course literally be searching the entire fediverse, but it would functionally be more or less the same thing, as I understand it.

      I think it won’t be able to get everything since the search result is the webpage that’s gonna be on different communities.

      I tried these searches, and they have different results. I’d be missing some content on the fediverse on the topic if I didn’t remember to include all these
