One of the best things about reddit was looking for answers or other users with the same problem as you, and since Google didn't really help with that anymore and instead insisted on giving you business results, the best practice was to put your search terms in followed by 'reddit' and you'd find your answer.

That's what I did, see the search term in the search field

    I don't understand. I looked at your screenshot again and the search field seems to show feddit.de: Musk. This is not the site: syntax. What I suggested was Musk site:feddit.de. Am I missing something?

    The site: is feddit.de: and after that follows the search query. It works that way too, and it's less work to type. Try it out by yourself

    I tried it myself and they're not similar at all. site: is handled specially through Google's advanced search syntax while the other approach is no different from a normal keyword. Please refer to the below images with attention to the result counts:

    It's fine if you don't want to use the syntax, but using it would solve your problem with keyword autocorrect and properly filter your results to only the website you've asked for.
