Planets outside this galazy appear to be what they were thousands or millions of years ago(speed of light).. if they are still there at all..

Why not search for planets in THIS galaxy..?
except probably its the same situation.. more or less..
We cannot even know much about Uranus and that planet is very very close comparatively..

I believe they are talking about planets inside our galaxy but outside our solar system.

No one on Earth has the technology to see a planet in another galaxy. Any extra-terrestrial planets you hear being talked about are in the Milky-Way Galaxy (ours).

They are. I'm fairly certain that all of the planets they are analyzing are in our Milky Way galaxy. I don't believe we have anything powerful enough to literally 'see' inside of another galaxy at a level that would reveal planets.
