How to search your Reddit saved posts
Reddit’s saved page has no search box and only shows your newest ~1,000 saves. Here are three ways to find a saved post again, from quickest to most complete.
1. Find on page (works for recent saves)
- Open
reddit.com/user/<your-name>/savedwhile logged in. - Scroll down until the post you want is probably loaded. Reddit loads about 25 at a time.
- Press
Ctrl+F(⌘Fon a Mac) and type a word from the title.
This only searches titles that are loaded on screen, not the post text or comments, and it stops at Reddit’s limit of about 1,000 saves.
2. Use your Reddit data export (links only)
Your Reddit data export contains saved_posts.csv and saved_comments.csv with every save you ever made. But the files hold only IDs and links, no titles or text, so you can search the link slugs at best. See how to export all your Reddit saves.
3. Full-text search with Merkbar
- Add the Merkbar extension. It finds your Reddit login on its own; no account needed.
- Within a minute your newest ~1,000 saves are searchable, including the post text. Top comments follow in the background.
- Press
⌘⇧K(Ctrl+Shift+K) on any page and type what you remember. Typos are fine.
Posts that get deleted later stay in your vault, marked “deleted on Reddit”. Older saves beyond the 1,000 limit can be added from your data export in one step.
