Can Chatter ConnectAPI be used to search chatter post feed only

Question

Currently i am trying get chatter feed in visualforce page. I only want the feed which has a query string. But i want all the recent comments for the post. I couldn't find a visualforce tag to get the filtered feed. So i wrote visualforce page.

Problem: my code is only getting the comments which have the query string. where as i want all the comments related to the post which has the query string.

controller:

feedItemPage = ConnectApi.ChatterFeeds.searchFeedItems(null,'Google',ConnectApi.FeedSortOrder.CreatedDateDesc);

page:

<apex:page showheader="true" sidebar="false" controller="Hoov_GCSContentController"  standardStyleSheets="false"  cache="true"  docType="html-5.0">
  <apex:pageBlock >
    <div class= "container">

You'd have to make another call in your controller to get the comments for each feed item returned from ConnectApi.ChatterFeeds.searchFeedItems(). There isn't a way to request the entire list of comments from a feed search request.

You'd have to call one of the ConnectApi.ChatterFeeds.getCommentsForFeedElement() methods.
