Search Reddit comments by query API

One call returns comments matching a search query, sorted by relevance or other criteria. Each item in the answer is a single comment with its text, score, and parent post info. The sample shows 3 comments per page; use the `nextPage` parameter to fetch the next batch.

1 live route on Reddit, from $0.00015 per call. Every route below answered our last live test on 2026-10-06; the gateway re-tests them daily.
