Many project have comments that are dozens, if not hundreds of pages long.
Having a search function allows us to find questions and comments relevant to our issues quickly, and overall greatly improves the usability of the site.

Agreed, and the way the comments load (lazily, eg. when scrolling or expanding “more” links) essentially breaks the ability to use the browser’s search function. A workaround is to first scroll all the way to the end (so all comments load) before searching, though that still doesn’t help with comments hidden behind “more” links.
