Can someone please tell me why does the reddit search engine default to searching globally? 99 out of 100 searches I make I am on a subreddit, want to search the subreddit, enter my search term and the first thing it does is search globally. I have to click the link r/subreddit to make it search locally.
Most times the API doesn't even have time to return the results before I click the link and make it do another request to search locally. Isn't that wasteful?
Very strange to put that in the mods control. Why would the mods have any idea or care for what users search for? Reddit has all the data about what users usually want and users know what they actually want, I don't see where mods come in

I am of course talking about the new UI.
