[Request] A Search button for post body and comments
One feature I’d like to see added: a dedicated search button/icon directly on each individual post page that lets users quickly search within:
• The main post title and body text
• ALL comments and replies underneath it
Right now it’s hard to find specific words, quotes, or discussions deep in long comment threads without manually scrolling/reading everything. A simple in-post search (similar to how Reddit or many forums handle “search this thread”) would make following conversations much easier — especially for popular posts with hundreds of comments.
Suggested placement:
• A small magnifying glass icon/button near the top of the comments section (e.g., next to “Sort by” or “Newest”)
• Clicking it opens a search bar that scans only that post + its full comment tree
• Highlight matches in context, with quick jumps to the relevant comment
This would be a big quality-of-life win for users and encourage deeper engagement in discussions.
