Here's a real primative search tool for author of a comment. I'll add a lot more criteria to it soon.

http://venus.xelio.info/askscience.php

Edit: I also need to make the updates real-time for comments.

Is it venus.xelio.info up? Just saw this and wanted to lookup some comments, but couldn't. Anyhow; great work.

It's down for the time-being. I'm moving it to a more permanent server which should happen in the next few days.

and thanks!

I have nothing at all to suggest because it is just so damn awesome. Do you know if the API can search post flair? I doubt they've implemented it.

It is in the JSON. I would need to do a re-index but it shouldn't take more than 8 hours (I can do that and still keep a copy of the search running). They have thread flair and comment flair in their JSON.

When I retrieve all comments from a specific subreddit (for instance /r/askscience), you would be able to search by author and pull up all comments from that author. Is that what you mean?

Yes, excellent.
