If Youtube comments had a "search" feature, I could actually use the comments to find useful information. Instead, I can sort by top and see a bunch of memes, or new and see a bunch of low quality spam.


I use YouTube for stuff like lectures, gaming, tutorials, events, conferences, content reviewers, etc. Believe it or not, some YouTube comments are actually thoughtful or contain useful discourse. It would great if I could search/filter the comments for a video if I want to see what other people said about a particular thing.Examples:I'm watching the previous E3 livestream, and I wanna see everything that people said about a game, I'm basically screwed because I'm forced to sift through the comments at that point.I'm watching a music video and it reminded me of some obscure song/movie, I might want to see if anyone else thought so, too.I'm watching an open courseware lecture and I am confused about something at time 15:45. I should be able to search "15:45" in the comment-search, and comments that reference nearby times appear in the result (e.g. shows comments which reference times between 15:40 and 15:50)Seeing as YouTube is owned by Google, comment search is something they can probably not only do, but do well. I'm pretty bored of either seeing memes (sorting by top) or spam/junk (sorting by new). via /r/youtube
