Description
Currently in the search bar, searching for anything only shows files that have fitting tags/categories. This makes broad searches for keywords across files that not only have a fitting tag or category, but also filename, description, or other fields either very tedious or for novice users just impossible.
Solution
Some kind of way to search for words, phrases or multiple separated words, which will then show all files that not only contain the word(s)/phrase in tags, but also in filename and fields.
If i were to search for 'Mario', the results would include
Being able to search this way would make it a lot more convenient and make writing out descriptions or notes about files more useful.
A toggleable setting to default words in the search bar to tags-only and everything would be very appreciated.
Alternatives
New search prefixes could be used to search for words in filenames and fields, but using prefixes and filters is difficult for novice users.
