What's your take on cooking competition shows like "Top Chef"?

Edit: should probably have included this ahead of the question: Big fan of your shows. My only complaint is that by the time I got to the good restaurants from "no reservations" they were already too popular! You saved my ass in Montreal, where I had little time, no cell service, and clothing not appropriate for that level of cold. I can't for the life of me remember the name of the restaurant, but I went to one of them about 3 times in as many days, and it didn't disappoint!

Cut is my favourite restaurant ever (I go every time I'm in Vegas)!

How much value do you think there is in getting drink pairings with your food? I know that food can help make a drink much better, but do you think the reverse is usually true as well?

I may be able to help out here.

Currently, we leverage a limited set of comments when indexing post information. The information we take from comments isn't the entire comment body, nor is it explicitly taking every term (word) in a comment. I won't go into too much detail, but suffice to say that the information in the comments is more like a bit of contextual data when searching for a post.

However, we recently launched Comment Search for the first time ever. It's limited at the moment (not on native mobile clients, about 2.5 years of comment data indexed). When you're trying to find a specific post via comment text, that's your best bet. You can search a subreddit for its comments using that feature.

To be clear, it's a relatively new search surface, and we're working on iterating on it in a number of ways (including, but not limited to improving relevance). The foundation is in place, and now we're building on top of it.

Hey there! Could you help me with some info to reproduce the issue?

What platform are you using (and if it's a native mobile app, which version)? What are some example queries, and how are you searching for them (for example: are you going to the subreddit and using the search bar from there? Are you typing the subreddit name into the search bar explicitly? Are you trying to search flair or something else?)
