To search YouTube comments for a specific keyword or phrase is a common practice among YouTube creators and social media marketers. Not only can you learn more about your audience\u2019s content preferences this way, but you can also control the comments that appear on your videos and improve your channel reputation.<\/span><\/p>\n

But finding the YouTube comments you\u2019re looking for is not as simple as it sounds. For one thing, the traditional methods of searching for a specific word in your web browser \u2013 such as typing <\/span>Ctrl F<\/b> \u2013 don\u2019t always work. This leaves creators and channel owners at a loss for how to get the information they need.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s where YouTube comment finders come in.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A YouTube comment finder is a tool that enables you to search the comments on a YouTube video (your own or someone else\u2019s), so you can learn more about your audience and help your channel grow.<\/span><\/p>\n

Read on to learn how YouTube comment finders work, the pros and cons of using one, and tips that can help you maximize your results.<\/span><\/p>\n

How Does a YouTube Comment Finder Work?<\/span> (A Step-by-Step Guide)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Let\u2019s explore five different methods of finding YouTube comments and the steps to using them.<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Use YouTube Studio<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The easiest method to start with is the <\/span>Comments<\/b> tab in YouTube Studio. Follow the steps below to get you there and start your search.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Step #1:<\/b> Log into your YouTube account and go to YouTube Studio.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Go<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

\n

Step #2: <\/b>Click <\/span>Comments <\/b>on the left-hand menu.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Click<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

\n

Step #3:<\/b> Select the <\/span>Published <\/b>tab.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Select<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

\n

Step #4: <\/b>Filter the published comments according to specific text, questions, or whatever other type of criteria you\u2019re searching for.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Criteria<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n

2. Use a Third-Party YouTube Comment Finder<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If YouTube Studio doesn\u2019t work as well as you\u2019d like, or if you want to find comments on someone else\u2019s video, you can try a third-party YouTube comment finder.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

These third-party YouTube comment finder websites are free to use and don\u2019t require you to download any software.<\/span><\/p>\n

I. YCF – YouTube Comment Finder<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"YCF<\/p>\n

To use this comment finder, copy and paste the URL of the video you want to search and press <\/span>Enter<\/b>. On the next screen, type in the key terms you want YCF to find in the comments section.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Use a Chrome Extension<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If you use the Chrome web browser from Google, then you may find that a YouTube comment finder Chrome extension is more convenient than a website.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are two YouTube finder Chrome extensions you can install on your browser and use for free.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I. <\/b>YCS – YouTube Comment Search<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"YCS\"<\/p>\n

II. Show YouTube Comments While Watching<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"Show<\/p>\n

This extension displays YouTube comments in a panel to the right of the video. It saves you the trouble of scrolling down to view comments and makes searching more convenient.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Use Browser\u2019s Search Function<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Sometimes your web browser\u2019s search function is the only YouTube comment finder you need.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To use it, follow these steps.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Step #1: <\/b>Type in the URL of the YouTube video you want to search in your web browser and press <\/span>Enter<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Type<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

\"Press<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

\n

Step #3: <\/b>Type the keyword you want to find in the search box that pops up.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Type<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

\n

Step #4:<\/b> Use the arrows in the search box to cycle through the search results.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Use<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n

Keep in mind that this tool only searches the text that is already loaded on the webpage. If you\u2019re searching a YouTube video that has a lot of comments, you may have to select \u201cLoad more comments\u201d at the bottom of the screen.<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Search YouTube Comment History<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In case you want to search the comments you\u2019ve left on other YouTube videos, you can do so by accessing your comment history on your Google account.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how to do that.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Step #1: <\/b>Log into your Google account that you use to comment with and go to <\/span>My Activity<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Go<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

\n

Step #2: <\/b>Click on <\/span>Other Activity<\/b> in the left-hand menu.<\/span><\/p>\n

Use these tips to get the best results from your YouTube comment finder.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Try YouTube Studio\u2019s Comments Tab First<\/strong><\/h3>\n

YouTube Studio\u2019s <\/span>Comments <\/b>tab is designed to help you search your comments. Since it\u2019s a part of the YouTube platform, we recommend you try using this tool first. See if you can get the results you\u2019re looking for before resorting to a third-party website.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Don\u2019t Be Afraid to Use More Than One YouTube Comment Finder<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If YouTube Studio doesn\u2019t yield the information you need, don\u2019t be afraid to use a combination of YouTube comment finders. You can try any of the tools we suggested above; or, for more convenience, download one of the Chrome extensions that allows you to search comments as you\u2019re watching a video.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Know Your Goals Before Searching YouTube Comments<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Your goals may dictate which YouTube comment-finder method you should be using. For example, if you need a first YouTube comment finder, use YouTube Studio and filter comments by the date they were posted. If, on the other hand, you want to search the comments you\u2019ve left on other videos, use Google\u2019s <\/span>My Activity<\/b> feature.<\/span><\/p>\n
