 Hi,

 what do you think about the idea of extending {{{_wp_get_comment_list}}}
 in wp-admin/includes/template.php in a way that we can also query for
 user-ids?

 I know, that the user_id will only be stored for comments of logged-in
 users, though I would need this search functionality not only, but also
 for [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/featuring-countcomments/ my
 count-comments plugin]. Currently, I implemented a link from users.php to
 edit-comments.php using
 {{{?s=user_display_name}}} which obviously results in missed comments as
 well as false positives.

 Just to give the idea a start, I've attached a patch prototype that
 extends handling of {{{$_REQUEST['s']}}}. - Or would we prefer a separate
 argument?

Comment:

 As part of my GSoC project, I have removed _wp_get_comment_list() in favor
 of get_comments(), which already has a 'user_id' argument.
