Like the title says. Voting a comment down doesn't cut it, especially when searching by comment. For example, check out what shows up when searching by tag for the latest offender to get banned (user #507455). That's the kind of thing I don't want to see every time I search using this method.
To start off, I think many/most/all of the above named user's comments can be safely deleted.
That's more of a report thread. This is more of a deletion thread. If I have to, I'll just develop a script/css that blocks the offending content, but I'd rather not go that route if at all possible. Plus, not everyone would have the advantage of being able to do that, and would therefore be subjected to the same crude comments in perpetuity.

Rather than delete the comments, why not just blacklist them so that they won’t show up on comment searches?
If you're talking about putting the user in a blacklist, that won't work. That only works for uploaders and approvers.
For now, I've added the following to my Custom CSS, however it is very fragile as it relies upon the name of a user which is changeable.
/*Banned user comments*/
.comment[data-creator=asimpleposter] {
display: none;
}

Why not turn it into an official feature then? Too much work?
Blacklists are a function of posts and not comments. On the comment index page this might work since the comments are located underneath the image HTML element, but on the post show page the comments are separate from the image HTML element. That's why if you pull up a post that has been blacklisted, the post will show up and the comments will be visible. The only thing that is hidden is the image.
