When I've been after old comments of mine or others and know some text from it filtering been straightforward. Results can be sorted in chronologically ascending order and date ranges can be set in addition to the standard filter options.
It's not perfect though. There's no exclusion filter option, some queries are automatically broadened without a way to enforce strict string matching (eg: searching enemies will also include results for enemy but wrapping in double quotes like "enemies" doesn't prevent this), the pagination when there are too many results for a query maxes out at ~200 pages even if more pages are shown/should be accessible via the navigation (seems like a bug), the pagination is also only at the bottom which adds a little extra time navigating and attachment filenames can't be searched.
That said, even with the above caveats I manage to find what I'm after reasonably quickly the vast majority of the time, even things years old.
