The only reason it works for Reddit is because they have a singular domain name you can site search and the context engine is good enough to know you're requesting a site search of www.reddit.com. Adding "Lemmy" to your query doesn't help, but adding the URL to an instance does. Such as "thing I want to search Lemmy.World" actually results in hits on Lemmy.World and other instances directly linked to from it. You can do it with any instance you want. You could even add "site:URL" to make sure it's doing the right kind of search if it doesn't understand the context.
