We've all been there: you're reading a Reddit post, and suddenly you see a comment that sparks your interest, but you quickly lose track of it and can't seem to find it again. This is especially frustrating if the comment contained valuable information or an interesting conversation.Fortunately, there is an easy way to search a Reddit post for comments.
You Can Now Search for Comments on Individual Posts
One of the most welcomed features Reddit added in April 2022 was a site-wide comment search. It allowed users to find comments posted anywhere on the Reddit site.
In February 2023, Reddit rolled out a new feature that takes the search function to the next level and allows users to search for comments on individual posts. This powerful search feature is a great way to find comments from within a specific post quickly and easily.
