How to effectively search the Fediverse? (beehaw.org)

Hello all. Like many new users, I am a reddit refugee. Please forgive me if this isn’t the best community for my question; I am still learning my way around here.

I am used to google searching “[THING] site:reddit.com” when I want to see the opinions of real people on a topic rather than the flood of clickbait articles you get nowadays with Google.

What is the best way to execute this type of search within the Fediverse rather than Reddit?

If the instance you’re on is heavily connected with the rest of the network, you should be able to search in your home server to find things youre looking for
