Reddit search for posts and comments
Search what people posted and commented across Reddit in the last month, newest first, with your keywords highlighted. Narrow it to a few subreddits, or to what one person said.
How to use it
- Type your keywords. Use "quotes" for exact phrases and AND, OR, NOT to combine them: "looking for" AND crm.
- Optionally add up to 5 subreddits or 3 usernames, and pick posts, comments or both.
- Open any result on Reddit to reply. To get new matches every day instead, save the search in Updately.
Questions
How do I search Reddit comments?+
Reddit’s own search has a Comments tab, but it only matches comments that contain every word you typed. This tool searches posts and comments together and shows the matching part of each comment, highlighted.
How do I search a Reddit user’s posts and comments?+
Type their username in the Usernames box along with your keywords. You get their recent public posts and comments that match, from every subreddit. Reddit’s own author: filter only finds posts, not comments.
Does it support AND, OR and NOT?+
Yes, plus "exact phrases" and brackets: (hubspot OR salesforce) AND expensive. Words side by side must all appear. Tick "Whole words only" so crm doesn’t match crmls.
How far back does it go?+
About a month for posts and the most recent comments. For older threads, Google with site:reddit.com works best.
Is it free?+
Yes, no sign-up, with a daily limit per person. NSFW subreddits are left out.

“What did people say about our competitors on Reddit and X this week? Draft replies to the three best threads.”
“Updately gave us control of what we were doing as opposed to giving the keys and letting them go. But most importantly, the reason why we joined Updately was because it was a third of the price of the agency that we were using to do a similar type of outreach.”
“If you don't have an active, engaged LinkedIn pipeline and you have a clearly defined ICP and persona, you need to add Updately to your tech stack immediately to supplement your sales.”
“I found myself looking at some of the messages that it's created and thinking like, wow, where did it find this? This went really deep to find information that you could never do in just a cursory search.”
