YouTube Comment Search
YouTube gives you no way to search a video's comments. Paste the link, type a word or a name, and read the matches. Free, no signup.
Why this doesn't exist on YouTube
The comment section is built for scrolling, not for finding. There is no search box, no filter beyond “top” and “newest,” and browser find only sees the comments already loaded on screen. So the answer you know is in there — the one person who explained the fix, the timestamp someone posted, the question you asked — stays buried. This page loads the comments, then searches them properly.
Every match arrives already sorted
Each comment is tagged as a content request, pain point, question, feedback or experience, with a sentiment label. So “search for the word tutorial” also tells you which of those hits were people asking for one.
Searching your own comment history
A common reason people search for this is finding a comment theyleft, somewhere, some time ago. That lives in your YouTube account's own history — private account data that no third-party tool can read, and you should be wary of any that claims it can. This page searches one public video's comments, which is a different job.
One video, or every video
This searches the most recent ~100 comments on a single video. The full report reads and classifies everycomment across a whole channel's recent uploads, with filters, facets and CSV/JSON export — the same idea, at channel scale.
FAQ
How do I search the comments on a YouTube video?
YouTube has no comment search of its own. Paste the video URL above, and once the comments load, type a word, phrase or username into the second box. Matches are filtered instantly and the matching text is highlighted.
How many comments does it search?
The most recent ~100 comments on the video, which is what the free tool loads. The paid Channel X-Ray report searches and classifies every comment across a whole channel.
Can I find my own comment on a video?
If it's in the loaded set, search your username and it'll surface. To find your own comments across all of YouTube, use your account's comment history in YouTube's own settings. That's account data no third-party tool can or should read.
