   Hi, I'm in the middle of adding support for tagging comments in Wordpress. I've currently got a working version, but it's not optimized. The current approach fetches all the comments and display the ones matching the tag. For example, a comment with #tag will display on the /tag/ page. Has anyone created a custom query to fetch _only_ the comments matching the tag? Here's the unoptimized code I've got so far:

   <?php
   	$comments = get_comments();
   	foreach ($comments as $comment) {
   
   		if (preg_match('/#'.$tag.'\b/i', $comment->comment_content)){
   			echo "<h3>Comments tagged \"#$tag\"</h3>";
   			break;
       	}
       }	
   
   	?>
   
     	<ol class="commentlist">
   
   	<?php
   	$comments = get_comments();
   	foreach ($comments as $comment) : ?>
   
   	<?php
   		if (!preg_match('/#'.$tag.'\b/i', $comment->comment_content)){
   		//display comments with our hash tag only
       		continue;
       	}
   	?>

   Thanks!
