Comment (by brokentone):

 I don't think that logic is a reasonable solution. Users don't have
 freeform text areas to worry about, whereas comments do. Any logic to
 automagically choose the correct field will limit the ability to search
 the content, in a non-intuitive way. You want the ability to search for
 links, IP addresses or emails within the comment text field.

 Without a sizable portion of my structural and functional modifications
 there will be no elegant way to make this work, even as a plugin.

 Let's take the UI off the table, I accept your logic, and I appreciate the
 JS suggestion.
