I don't have a Facebook account, but do log in to my wife's account to look at a few pages that are only on Facebook. For example, Infinite Flight (a flight simulator) has a very active Facebook page, located here:

https://www.facebook.com/infiniteflightapp

So if you notice, they post pictures and then people post hundreds of comments after each one. Every now and then, Infinite Flight will answer a question or a comment. Very simply, is there any way that I can filter the comments to show ONLY those comments posted by Infinite Flight? I don't necessarily want to read the posts from hundreds of people world wide. But I DO want to read what Infinite Flight, the page owner, writes, because this is their primary means of communicating with their customers. As it is, I have to wade through hundreds of comments to find Infinite Flight comments, and then I often find that there isn't a single Infinite Flight comment in reply to anyone under that picture (so it was time wasted).

Thanks.
 
This is all I can offer:

https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/apis/

That being said there may be simplistic approach within that to query data potentially.

Not sure how savvy your are technically but you can get a primitive interface potentially:

There appears to be query language similar to SQL used on relational databases here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9110420/fql-query-to-fetch-all-data-of-a-facebook-page

If you are lucky it will turn into a url you create to perform the query. That is what I do all day long with these API's but with a masssive company not FB.
 
AFAIK, such specific filtering is not possible right now. It's an all/none situation. But I am not exactly an expert, just basing this on the same experience with a page or two that I 'like' or contribute to.
 
You can use the browser's find to search/jump to comments, probably show all the comments first and then use the find so it keeps going to the next comment by the user you are searching for. Not exactly a filter but better than nothing.
