| Jul 16, 2019 at 3:05 | comment | added | Stormblessed | @JonEricson hi, is this being looked at now? It’s been a really long time. | |
| Jan 3, 2019 at 3:26 | comment | added | theforestecologist | @JonEricson revisit this perhaps? :) | |

date is useful for documentation

| Nov 12, 2015 at 20:32 | comment | added | Monica Cellio | @JonEricson thanks. I agree that hacking it in now when an upgrade later would let you do it right would not be a great idea. | |
| Nov 12, 2015 at 20:25 | comment | added | Jon Ericson StaffMod | Ah. I was ambiguous. If I understand the situation, mixing them so that comments turn up in a regular search would be easier. It's the very fact that we need to keep them somewhat separate that causes the problem. There are probably workarounds (I'm guessing a separate index for comments could be built and hacked in), but we'd prefer to wait for the upgrade that will support it properly. | |
| Nov 12, 2015 at 20:01 | comment | added | Monica Cellio | @JonEricson re the decline -- bummer, but if the devs can't do it with the current architecture, I can't exactly ask them to make magic happen. :-) One question, though: were they looking at searching both posts and comments in a single search? That's not what I was asking for; I proposed searching only comments (instead of the default of searching only posts) if you use the enabling syntax. I suspect that mixing comments in with posts on general searches would be pretty noisy. | |

Checked with the developers. (Sorry.)

| Oct 23, 2015 at 21:16 | comment | added | Monica Cellio | @JohEricson, if searching comments doesn't burden the site in some way, then I agree it would be useful to have for everybody. | |

Good idea. I'm not sure when I will be able to request this, but I've put it in our queue.

| Jun 18, 2015 at 20:39 | comment | added | Monica Cellio | Thanks @TLama! This definitely helps with comments that are older than the time of the last data dump, which covers many of the cases. | |
| Jun 18, 2015 at 20:38 | comment | added | TLama | I'm using this query. It's pretty clear how to change it to search not only comments of a particular user. | |
| Jun 17, 2015 at 12:56 | comment | added | Monica Cellio | @ChrisW I didn't mean we should mix comments into search results willy-nilly; I agree that could add noise. I was thinking of a specific directive, e.g. is:comment, so you could search comments intentionally. I've edited that in. | |

| Jun 17, 2015 at 11:20 | comment | added | ChrisW | Comments often include (or are) links to other topics. If you search for keywords in a topic title with this feature enabled, the search results will include not just questions, but also answers (which is already more than you want) and furthermore comments too. | |
| Apr 18, 2015 at 21:19 | comment | added | corsair992 | @Scimonster: Indexing the comments as well as the questions and answers should take up at most twice the space. Just like the argument for restricting vote counts, this is also a bad argument. Any such costs should be measured and considered in detail with a cost-benefit analysis, before using them as a vague argument for restricting all but the most essential features. I doubt it will be used that much anyway, if introduced as a separate feature from the general search. | |
| Apr 18, 2015 at 20:51 | comment | added | Scimonster | @corsair992 Similar to view vote counts. It's just a lot of server strain if everyone gets to do it. | |
| Apr 18, 2015 at 3:25 | comment | added | corsair992 | @MonicaCellio: Why should there be any reputation requirement at all on a simple functional non-harmful site feature? | |
| Apr 17, 2015 at 23:07 | comment | added | Monica Cellio | @pacoverflow from the question: "I'm looking for unlockables that could be spread around reputation levels like tapas dishes." People seem to be assuming these would be 30k+, but it doesn't actually say that and I'm not assuming it in my answer. | |
| Apr 17, 2015 at 18:12 | comment | added | pacoverflow | This is another one that shouldn't only be available to high-rep users. This should be available to all users. | |

| Apr 17, 2015 at 2:47 | comment | added | Monica Cellio | @tchrist they do? Hmm, I haven't had much luck with that. I'll take another look. (Still, if I could do it on-site, that'd be even better!) | |
| Apr 17, 2015 at 2:44 | comment | added | tchrist | Google does index comments. I use it all the time for searching them. | |
| Apr 17, 2015 at 2:41 | comment | added | Taryn | This would be helpful in so many ways. | |
