How can you search specific comments in a single Reddit post with Google accurately?

Take a recent Reddit post and try on Google:

site:https://www.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/u3vzo2/russia_wa... arms

Even subreddit comment search on Google is flimsy due to Reddit not properly exposing the dates, so Google's indexed dates are usually wrong.

I find this hit or miss - often Google gets it right and often it does not. Definitely would be nice if they were able to fix this!

yes, hit or miss on comments; appears Google indexed that post ~15 hours ago

does work properly for those comments did index, e.g., https://breezethat.com/?q=%22Putin+is+in+no+shape%22+site%3A...
