Twitch VOD Chat Search Extension

This extension assists with identifying timestamps on Twitch VODs by providing a tool for searching chat comments within a VOD. The idea is that if we are looking for some topic in a VOD, chat will be talking about it -- so we can find the comments and grab the timestamp off of the comment in the VOD.

This tool supports standard search operators and regular expressions.

Akmal Kohi (ID: 000000cb0f616cdd) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/18/2023 really convenient. except for long vods with lots of chatters

Fadi Al-zahrani (ID: 000000a59b77c0ad) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 09/16/2023 is this still working?

Tim Vermeulen (ID: 000000a7f49ffcbb) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/25/2023 Edit: Works perfect now. Original review: Just downloaded it, and it doesn't work at all for me at the moment. Clicking the "Run Chat Search" button doesn't give any feedback whatsoever, simply nothing happens.

Jack (ID: 000000b2065f2b95) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/23/2023 I was skeptical at first but it works as advertised. Extremely easy to use- 5 stars!

Melodica Dude (ID: 000000a4611e1d29) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/12/2023 re-writing my whole review: This extension is one of the best there has been, and it is insane to me that a tool this useful for gathering context and finding moments in a twitch VOD is one of very few to ever serve this function and feature. I seriously cant believe no other Twitch improvement addon strives to do what this extension does because it is just that useful. I rate it 5 stars because that's the quality of what it provides. I do have to say though, that the extension breaks every few months due to updates. I don't blame the dev for this, of course, and it's not their fault that they're one person managing an extension, having to update it and wait for the updates to get approved. They have no obligation to keep this extension up to date and keep fixing it, but they do and that is very cool. There may be downtime when the extension is broken, but that's the consequence of this service being a specific, one person side project. If you're looking for an extension that allows you to comb twitch chats/VODs for context, you have found it. If it's not working at the moment, give it some time. That is all.
