Actually, the thing I would be interested in most is a better way to search my comments, my upvoted comments, etc.

HN has a search box, but afaik there's no way to filter by user, or to restrict the search to my upvoted comments, etc.

Downloading would be a good second-best option, because at least it would allow me to "grep" through the archives.

You can restrict "by:user".

Hmm I see that could be interesting.

The software this script is built around [0] comes with a developing [1] search functionality.

The idea is that using these plugins and the main software one can group / save / search their digital identity - and that's exactly what saving comments would work towards.
