Reviews for YouTube Comment Search
YouTube Comment Search by Pancevac
Review by vava
Rated 3 out of 5
by vava, 5 years agothere are bugs: the search returns also comments which do not include the search term!
e.g. searching this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZUOazRFLaA for "sortimo"
p.s. I think the error is at youtube because the web interface https://ytcomment.kmcat.uk/# returns the same results as your addon
p.s.2 https://hadzy.com/comments however works fine and i think is using the same api
edit: I used this add-on to search in the comments for just 2 youtube videos; it looks ok, but I would have colored the search terms in the result window;
I think you should complain to youtube about the error to have them fix their own bugs rather than rely on workarounds!
Is there another way we can communicate here except editing the review?
p.s.3 how about enabling Like/Dislike/Reply ?
can you implement this?

posted 5 years agoHi there,
it is indeed strange why youtube returning comments without given keywords but since the plugin relies entirely on youtube api, I could add some post filtering but I'm not sure how effective that would be.
Are there any other bugs you've noticed?
Edit2:
Sounds good, when I have time, I'll try to implement that.
