This is a webapp that allows users to search for a word, phrase, or regex pattern in multiple subreddits.
The hits are printed to the screen in the form of a link, making it super easy to find the submission.
Here is the streamlit powered app.
This app has the following advantages over reddits built-in search function:
- You can use regex
- You can toggle case-senstivity
- You can show only whole-word matches
- You can limit the number of searches per query (i.e. only show 100 newest posts in r/animalrights matching
carni[sm][st]) - hits are displayed in a much more concise format, making it easier to find what you are looking for.
I greatly appreciate any and all contributions. Submit a pull request or leave a note in the issues! Here is a list of issues that the app currently has:
- There is no good way to stop a current query and start over again with different parameters
- the code is messy. Any help cleaning it, especially the giant 'find_string_in_subreddit' function would be great
