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.

I believe Google can do this already, but it requires each Lemmy instance to tell Google that it's not the "canonical" version, and which site is. I believe it's possible for Lemmy and kbin to provide that information already, but in my quick check I don't see them doing that yet. Will probably need to be a feature request.
