Search including comments
Related to [hkotsubo's request for a list of new comments][list], it might be useful to surface a search not only for posts, but also for comments.[^user] Having now had some exposure to the kinds of spam patterns Codidact receives, I'd like to trawl for older comments with garbage. Especially considering there are many posts with inactive users or imported users that never existed on CD at all. In addition, spammers can edit comments just like they can with posts, and we've already seen that they do this. The comments feed might not catch that abuse,[^update] but it definitely won't help with things already on the site. It might also be useful to have a mechanism that searches the HTML of a piece of content (post or comment) such that e.g. link patterns can be checked. [^user]: And now that I'm on a roll, maybe also a search for user profiles. Die casino spam, die! [^update]: It could, of course, if it were sorted by last-update date rather than create date.
