Overview
About this tool
Searches a video’s comments through YouTube’s official Data API and returns the matches with their author, like count, date and a direct link that jumps straight to the comment in the thread.
Instructions
How to use it
Paste the video and the words you remember. YouTube’s own comment search does the matching, so a phrase in quotes matches exactly and loose words match anywhere in the comment.
Every card is a link
Click a result and it opens that comment in the thread rather than the top of the page — which is the difference between finding a comment and scrolling for it. Sorting puts the most-liked matches first, because the comment people half-remember is usually the one everybody upvoted.
Questions
Frequently asked
It says comment search is unavailable.
The tool needs a YouTube Data API key, which the site owner configures in settings. Every other YouTube tool on this site works without one.
Why did a comment I know exists not show up?
Replies are not searched — only top-level comments are. A comment held for review, removed, or posted on a video with comments disabled is also invisible to the API.
Can I search my own channel’s comments across every video?
Not here — this searches one video at a time. YouTube Studio’s comments tab searches across a whole channel and can act on what it finds.
