Comments can be useful for a variety of sites. But, with core only, there are some shortcomings in the UX and configuration options, for example the order of comments on nodes can only be oldest to newest. Also, through Zulip discussions it was identified that not all comments were being indexed for search, only those on the first page of a full node display.
Here's what was assembled and used to enhance comments:
Core issues (PR available to patch if not merged):
- [Fix redirect on unapproved comments page](https://github.com/backdrop/backdrop-issues/issues/4314), merged.
- [Search results numbering resets to 1 on each page](https://github.com/backdrop/backdrop-issues/issues/7160)
- [Reply to comment link is missing anchor #comment-form](https://github.com/backdrop/backdrop-issues/issues/7162)
- [Comments pager missing anchor #comments](https://github.com/backdrop/backdrop-issues/issues/7163)
Contrib modules installed and configured:
- [Comment Sort Weight](https://github.com/backdrop-contrib/comment_sort_weight)
- [Comment Search](https://github.com/backdrop-contrib/comment_search)
- [Comment Publish](https://github.com/backdrop-contrib/comment_publish)
- [Search Combined](https://github.com/backdrop-contrib/search_combined)
- [Pagerer](https://github.com/backdrop-contrib/pagerer)
- [Pager Fix](https://github.com/backdrop-contrib/pager_fix)
Just read the issues and the module README files and see how they fit together.

Thanks!! Easiest for me to just give permission for anon users to see the admin theme. That worked. It's just for this one page.
