How does reddit search work?

I do not want to post a poll/survey/question right on reddit.com, as that trend to me seems annoying, however, I am baffled by reddit search. Perhaps if there was an advanced search option, I could look at the POST or GET args and see what it was up to, alas, I can not.

What I do know:
1) Profanity is not filtered out of search.
2) Subjects definitely are searched.

What I want to know more about:
1) Are comments searched?
2) Can search operators be used reliably? What are they?
3) What are the power user tricks?

Not a day goes by in which I need to relocate an article I read on reddit. Not a day goes by that I don’t have a hell of a time locating it. Maybe it is time I started to use the “save” feature, but curiosity has gotten the better of me, and I would like to know what the alien is up to when I enter in a string and hit search.
