Hello,

Commenters can give a random name without being registered, and when I filter for those names on Comment admin it does not find their posts.

That's because you are trying to use the author autocomplete field. I think what you are after is the name field. As all comments by anonymous users will be 0, with the 'name' column containing the name they entered on the comment field.

If we want to consider adding this, definitely a feature request and not a bug report.

I can see how this can be confusing because the Author field in the actual listing is the 'name' field.

Much appreciated for the clarification Damian :)

Perhaps, an OR combined filter would do it elegantly without adding more filters. :)

Alas, I don't think that will work, as one is a regular textfield and another is an autocomplete.
