To see it in action:
Crust.piefed.social (the Piefed development instance)
Not all instances implement it yet, I guess it depends how often they pull from the dev branch
Example of search for ‘movies’

Ah, right comments don’t actually top with time ranges in 0.19: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/users/03-votes-and-ranking.html#sorting-comments, my bad. The fact lemmy-ui still shows all of them is very confusing, I’ll admit.
This is different in 1.0, the logic was changed for both posts and comments so these will work in future.
That’s a page that really shouldn’t be relevant, and it concerns me if it is, because the search page should not be working on the same ordering logic that comment pages or the front page use.
Anyway, I mainly only use the “top month” option as a proxy for what I really want, which is “filter by posts/comments in the last month”, usually because I’m searching for something I saw recently, and I have a rough idea of when it was posted.
Eh, I don’t think it’s that surprising. Getting a list of comments on a post vs getting them from a search term are very similar operations, so it doesn’t make too much sense for these to have different queries in the backend. One thing you could do, but no client to my knowledge does, is add a search bar to a post that searches through the comments only within that thread.
Everything in the backend uses the same sorting as the posts do on that page except comments, which is frustrating. Comments do need a different sort enum as there are some options that don’t apply to comments (scaled, new comments, etc.), but yeah the fact the top options don’t work for comment search when they should is opaque and not user friendly.
I can’t wait for 1.0 to actually come out because I feel like a broken record, but this is fixed there.
