Would it be possible to enable searching for comments that would also be for species or genus, etc., to bring up all comments that have been made about that particular taxon (whether it ultimately was confirmed or not)?

There's a secret way to search through your own comments here:
Is there a non-secret way to access the "search comments" feature???
But I don't know of a way to search for a comment made by someone else.

https://www.inaturalist.org/comments?commit=Search&q=test will search all comments (change "test" to something else)

Unfortunately that won't run a search, just return every comment ever made. It does not filter based on the query. If you open the URL you get a list, the first one has no mention of "test". Change test to robin and you'll get the exact same list. No matter what you pass, you get 23,000 plus pages in return.

Strange, it may seem odd, but I'm guessing it is an oAuth issue and you need to be logged in. When I ran it I just pasted the URL into a new tab, and it returned everything as mentioned. When I reran after logging in, it worked as you mentioned.

Cassi,
If you run the robin search again, check the 13th observation a Brown Thrasher from December in Texas. I don't see the word robin on that observation

Sorry re above, but post button too soon. Then a couple more down is a Red Rim butterfly. Again I see no mention of robin in that. Any idea why they are returned ?

Can you search for multiple terms this way?
eg., If I want to search for "fungus" and "dna" and "kit"
