How to search the Fediverse? (kbin.social)

A week ago I could just use google to search for something specific and just append 'site:reddit.com' in the query and found the answer.
Multiple subreddits went from private to restricted recently so new posts are pretty close to zero and no new content is added.
If I assume people migrated to kbin/lemmy, how can I find an answer to my question/problem/wHaTeVeReLsE? I'm not speaking about searching for a Magazine/Community, or title of article, but users' answers.

Would this work, say, if one instance were to defederate from the instance you're registered on?

That's a great question. I honestly don't know. I can't check rn because my instance hasn't blocked any yet (on mobile so I'm pretty limited atm). I'll try to check later, but I'm guessing it's a "no."

It would be nice if there were a way to search fediverse-wide. Being able to type a question + reddit into a search engine is such a good troubleshooting tool.

I suppose it could be worth it to have a datahoarder/archival instance for posterity. It crawls and federates with everything, denies deletion requests, and gets used just for searching/indexing the rest of the fediverse

No it won't. You will have to go to that federate directly and make your search.
