The "direct" link is a 404 searchvoat link.

I am looking to backup all the comments made by a user who posted often in QRV. I know the username but of course it's anonymized in QRV. Likewise, QRV comments will not show when searching their name.

Is it possible to find all comments made by a specific user in QRV?

I'm afraid not, sorry. The SearchVoat data is exactly what was displayed on Voat, there's no further identifying info.

Dang. I recall that comments in QRV would show up in your profile if logged in so I think a reference must have existed in the backend. But I guess searchvoat is a frontend scrape.

  1. When I search for a user's comments it can only display a maximum of 9 pages (250 comments), even though there are still hundreds more according the total found count. Bug?

    .
  2. I am searching for comments for a particular anon user on v/QRV. He tends to consistantly use unique characters strings in his comments like ~ and .... and /// which make him easily identifiable.
    However, the search function just appears to interpret these as an empty string. Could there be a feature to search comments for string literals? Eg. "~" and "...." ?

Yes it's limited to 10 pages (0 to 9).

Sadly no. The search is powered by Sphinx https://sphinxsearch.com/ and it can only index alphanumeric characters.

I was wrong, this is true for ANY comment search. I am surprised, this is extremely limiting. It also makes the "[total] Found" count at the bottom deceptive to the user.

If I can't browse a users whole comment history, then is there a way to at least export/download it?
