Reddit user comment search: every post and comment by one account
Reddit's own profile page only scrolls, and its search can't filter by author and keyword together. Enter a username and we read the account's newest 100 posts and 100 comments, so you can search them by keyword, see where the person is active and open any item in one click.
A Reddit user comment search puts everything one account has said, across every subreddit, into one list you can filter. Enter a username above and the tool reads that account's newest posts and comments, then lets you search them by keyword and by type. It's a Reddit user history search and a Reddit user post search in one box: search Reddit user comments, posts, or both.
What the result shows
| Part | What it is | How to use it |
|---|---|---|
| Items | The account's posts and comments, newest first, with subreddit, date and score | Read what the person actually says, in their own words |
| Keyword filter | Matches your word in the title, text or subreddit name | Jump straight to the comments about a tool, a company or a problem |
| Most active in | The subreddits where the matching items were posted | Shows the communities this person spends time in |
| Counts | How many posts and comments we read | Tells you how much history the result is based on |
We read up to the newest 100 posts and 100 comments. On a busy account that might be a few weeks of history. On a quiet one it can go back years, so it also works as a quick Reddit history search for older accounts.
Why people search a user's post history
- Vetting a lead. Someone asked for a tool like yours. Their history tells you whether they run a company, what they use today and what annoys them about it.
- Checking a seller or a recommender. A glowing review reads differently once you see the account only ever posts about one product.
- Moderating. Mods use reddit post history to tell a real member of the community from a drive-by promoter.
Limits of the tool
- Reddit hides removed and deleted posts and comments. They can't show up here, and nobody can show you their text anymore.
- It reads public history only. Private profiles, suspended accounts and deleted accounts return nothing.
- It searches the items we read, not the whole lifetime of a very active account.
- We look people up by username only. We never search by email address or phone number.
What to do next
- Check the account's age, karma and status with the Reddit user analyzer.
- Suspect automation? Run it through Reddit bot detection.
- Only know part of the name? Start with Reddit people search.
- Looking for people who want a product like yours, rather than one specific person? Use the Reddit lead finder.
Frequently asked questions
How do I search Reddit comments by user?
Enter the username above and add a keyword. The tool reads that user's newest comments and posts and shows only the ones that mention your word, each with a link.
Can I see someone's full Reddit post history?
You can see their public history. The tool reads the newest 100 posts and 100 comments, which is the whole history for most accounts. Reddit itself hides removed and deleted items.
Can I find deleted Reddit comments by user?
No. Reddit stopped showing removed and deleted comment text on public profiles, so no live tool can show it. Most of the archive sites that used to show it have stopped working.
Is it allowed to look at someone's Reddit history?
Yes. Posts and comments on public profiles are public, and anyone can scroll through them on Reddit. This tool makes them easier to search.
