I built TrendSearch to fix Reddit’s messy search — and I’m finally launching it!

Hey Indie Hackers đź‘‹

I wanted to share something I’ve been building for the past few weeks — TrendSearch. It’s a tool that helps you find trends, insights, and content on Reddit, in a way the native search just… doesn’t.

đź§  How it started:
I spend a lot of time researching on Reddit — trying to validate startup ideas, explore what people are talking about in different niches, and find content inspiration.

But Reddit’s native search? It’s painful.

❌ You can’t search multiple keywords or subreddits at once

❌ Filtering is clunky and confusing

❌There’s no way to save, reuse, or analyze your results

❌Half the time you're just scrolling endlessly, opening tabs, getting
distracted

One night I was 2 hours deep into a rabbit hole of trying to track mentions of a few startup ideas across different subreddits, and I thought:

“There has to be a better way…”

So I built one.

đź”§ TrendSearch lets you:

âś… Search multiple keywords and subreddits at once
âś… Filter by timeframe (day/week/month/year/all) and sort by top/new/hot
âś… View clean, structured results: upvotes, comments, post date, subreddit
âś… Download results as CSV or JSON
âś… Analyze trending posts without opening 50 tabs

It’s designed to be simple, fast, and useful — no login required to try it.

💡 Who it’s for:

I made this to scratch my own itch, but I quickly realized how useful it could be for others too:

🎯Marketers: See what people are saying about your product, brand, or niche

🎯Founders & Indie Hackers: Validate ideas or find gaps in what people are asking

🎯Creators: Research content opportunities or community discussions

🎯Developers: Build tools based on recurring user problems

🎯Curious minds: Just explore Reddit in a smarter way

🙏 Would love your feedback:
This is my first solo product launch, and I’d love to hear your thoughts:

🔍Is this something you’d use?

🔍What feature would make it more useful for you?

🔍Anything confusing or missing in the current version?

🔍Drop a comment — I’m building in public and would love to learn from you.

If you've ever felt like Reddit has valuable data but is hard to search… TrendSearch might just be what you're looking for.

Thanks for reading 🙌
