A userscript that keeps your Reddit search filters (sort, time range, type) when searching with new keywords.
Reddit resets all search options every time you enter a new search term. This userscript intercepts the search input and preserves your filter preferences (sort order, time range, search type) when you perform a new search.
- Preserves Sort Order: Keeps your sort preference (relevance, hot, top, new, comments)
- Preserves Time Range: Maintains time filter (hour, day, week, month, year, all time)
- Preserves Search Type: Retains type filter (posts, comments, communities, people)
- Subreddit & Site-wide: Works in both subreddit-specific and global Reddit search
- Lightweight: Minimal overhead, works entirely in the browser
- Install a userscript manager like Tampermonkey or Greasemonkey
- Download the userscript from https://github.com/rxliuli/userscripts/releases/latest/download/reddit-search-options-persist.user.js
- Visit Reddit: Navigate to any Reddit page
- Perform a Search: Use the search bar with your preferred filters (sort, time, type)
- Search Again: Enter a new search term and press Enter
- Filters Preserved: Your previous filter settings are automatically applied to the new search
