- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13302641, 3 years agoGenerally works fine, but refuses to work on certain videos, shows a message "Oops, something went wrong".
- Rated 5 out of 5by Drednaught, 3 years agoGreat, but there is an annoying problem where, more often than not, one word searches don't work and the extension says, "Ups, something went wrong..."

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14372178, 4 years agoWorks very well! It's a pity you can't like or answer a comment.

posted 3 years agoAgree, unfortunately YouTube doesn't support comment likes through API. Replying to the comment could be implemented tho but only with user authentication (the only way to know which user replied on which comment) - Rated 5 out of 5by Matix, 4 years agoWorks great! Thanks for this extension!
An icon for the search in the video player would be very useful, such as in Enhancer for YouTube. - Rated 4 out of 5by WXD, 4 years agoThe extension works very well, I just wish there was the possibility to search for comments on the entire channel, for example I write "global:Hello World" then it searches in all videos for comments that contain these words and at the end returns a query with the comments from these videos.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15246960, 4 years agoAwesome extension... Perfectly does what it is intended to do.
### REQUEST ###
Add feature to like, comment and reply to the searched comments. If you could do this.. I am sure this will be featured in several tech articles. :P
Also add count of the comments that came in results.Developer response
posted 3 years agoUnfortunately, feature to like comments can't be implemented because of YouTube API limitation.
On the other side, replying to a comment could be implemented but it would require user to grant YouTube permissions(scopes) to a extension, simple speaking, it would require user authentication. I'll think of adding this feature for sure.
Thanks for feedback! - Rated 3 out of 5by dolorous_dude, 4 years agoNice and useful tool! I have noticed a few issues tho: The shortcut is supposed to be CTRL+ALT+S but it was actually mapped to CTRL+Y for some reason. The cursor changes to move or resize the window, but neither actually work. Some of the results don't even have the keyword in them. I think it's because the word is in a comment reply but this just shows the last 5 replies of each comment. Also, personally I would have the window pop up in the bottom right corner instead of the center, but maybe I just have OCD. : P
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13491573, 4 years agoGreat addon, makes searching easy:) One thing that would be also great, making partial search possible. Thanks for your work:)

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 16501371, 4 years agoThis extension is good but it used to be better before the update, for one the key command doesn't work anymore, that and I can't load up a comment that I've searched
- Rated 5 out of 5by fip3asb, 4 years agoWorks great! But I wish the icon would be in the adress bar and only appear if I'm on youtube.com/watch. Like this extension does: https://github.com/gifnksm/youtube_thumbnail_viewer

- Rated 5 out of 5by CaioMartinelli, 4 years agoWondeful extension, perfect as is. It is absolutely great to be used with Youtube live comments extension in my case. Thanks for your work to community. It is really amazing. This is one that i would be happy to pay you at least a coffe or two if possible in any way. See ya.

- Rated 3 out of 5by 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?Developer response
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. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15302263, 5 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Max Mustermann, 5 years agoThis addon has been working for me without any problems until now.
When i try to search a comment it tells me "Ups, something went wrong." I tried removing and readding the addon and also restarting firefox. Neither of which was succesful. Can you help me, please?Developer response
posted 5 years agoYes, don't worry, your Firefox browser is working correctly. Problem is, though , that
max search requests are restricted to 10 000 per day, that's restriction by YouTube API.
When limit is reached, every user will get "Ups, something went wrong".
I noticed that limit is reached almost every day(close to midnight) since last month.
In order to resolve this problem, I will try to implement proxy server as backend, as soon as possible but it will take some time to develop. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15390408, 5 years ago
