Frequently asked questions
Can I search Reddit posts that were deleted?
Yes. This search runs on the THINKPOL private archive of 30 billion posts and comments, which preserves content as it was captured, including posts later deleted by users or removed by moderators. To recover deleted content for a specific user or thread, see the deleted Reddit posts tool.
How is this different from Reddit's own search?
Reddit's search only covers live content and ranks results opaquely. THINKPOL searches a 30 billion post archive with full-text matching over both posts and comments, includes deleted and removed content, and the underlying API answers in under 300ms.
How far back does the Reddit archive go?
The archive spans more than a decade of Reddit history across every major subreddit, totaling over 30 billion posts and comments. It is continuously updated with new content in real time.
Is the Reddit search tool free?
Yes. The free tool shows the top 10 results per query and is rate-limited. Full access adds bulk results, Boolean filters, date ranges, export, and API integration, hosted in the EU and GDPR-compliant.
