Searching comments by body text without an author or post or link id? #8

Right now we can only search comments by a specified user or in a specified post. Is it possible to allow Reddit-wide searching of comments and posts?

Unfortunately not. With my current setup such a query could take hours. It's just too much data to search through. So I'm only offering what I know I can support. There is another independent platform called pullpush.io, which might work better for this.
