On Thursday, Reddit announced a significant overhaul to search functionality on its website. Comments are fully searchable for the first time, and other improvements have been made to ensure more robust, comprehensive, and useful search results.

Reddit says that this is the first time in the site's 16-year history that everything is searchable, from users to posts to communities to comments. Users can also search for comments within specific subreddits, allowing for more targeted searches than looking for a term across all of Reddit.

To access comment searches, click the "comments" tab at the top of the results page once you've typed in a query in the search bar located at the top of the website. Also, the search results page has a new look on both desktop and mobile.
