CommentFinder is a search and analysis tool for YouTube comments. Its core goal is to replace the manual way of scrolling through comments, allowing users to quickly locate the comments they need by keyword, phrase, author, or other criteria. It uses the official YouTube API and proprietary algorithms to scrape and index public comments. Users only need to paste the video URL to obtain comments, replies, and related metadata, and then search, filter, and analyze them.
