YouTube Comment Finder

Our YouTube Comment Finder is a simple, fast way to search comments on any public YouTube video or Short. Paste a video URL, type a keyword, phrase, or @mention, and instantly see every matching comment — including who left it and when.

How do I find a YouTube comment?

To find a YouTube comment, paste any YouTube video URL and search by keyword. Author names and timestamps appear in the results so you can scan who said what.

How to Search YouTube Comments by Keyword

YouTube doesn't offer a built-in way to search comments on someone else's video. YouTube Studio lets you search comments on your own channel and videos, but not on videos owned by other creators.

The YouTube Comment Finder works on any public video or Short. Paste the video URL and search by keyword to find every matching comment — including @mentions of a specific user.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find a specific comment on a YouTube video?
+
Paste the video link into the free YouTube Comment Finder, type the word, phrase, @mention, hashtag, or emoji you remember, and it surfaces every matching comment in seconds — far faster than scrolling. It works on any public video or Short, with no sign-up.
Is the YouTube comment finder free?
+
Yes. The YouTube Comment Finder is completely free to search a video's comments by keyword, with no account or credit card required. Signing in raises the per-video search limit and unlocks filtering across all of your own videos.
Can I search YouTube comments by keyword?
+
Yes — keyword search is exactly what the YouTube Comment Finder does. Enter any word or phrase and it returns only the comments that contain it, using the YouTube Data API so results match what is publicly visible on the video.
Can I find comments left by a specific user?
+
The free YouTube Comment Finder searches by keyword on a single video — you can type an @mention or username and find every comment that contains it, but it doesn't filter results by author name directly. For full filter-by-author across all of your own videos, sign in to the CommentShark dashboard.
Does the YouTube Comment Searcher support YouTube Shorts?
+
Yes! The YouTube Comment Searcher supports both standard videos and Shorts. Just paste the URL.

Why Use Our YouTube Comment Finder?

Our YouTube Comment Finder is designed for one job: finding the exact comment you need, fast. Unlike YouTube Studio, this works on any public video — not just videos you own. Whether you're a content creator tracking down a viewer's feedback, a marketer auditing brand mentions, or a researcher looking at audience sentiment, it surfaces what you're looking for in seconds.

First YouTube Comment Finder

Want to find the first comment on a YouTube video? YouTube doesn't allow you to sort comments by oldest, making it nearly impossible to find the very first comment on popular videos. Try our dedicated YouTube First Comment Finder tool to instantly discover the oldest comment on any video!

CommentShark also gives you the ability to search and order your YouTube comments, and gives you the ability to filter comments by sentiment, date, and more! Sign up for free to use our advanced features.
