Added a Search Feature

[Signynt]

Addresses #556

Features

• Allows selection of which property to search by (defaults to name)
• Hooks into the preexisting filter backend
• Case insensitive

Limitations

• Dates get passed to the filter backend in a date format such as Sun Sep 18 2022 00:00:00 GMT+0200 (Central European Summer Time), which means that searching in date fields might not work as the user expects. This does have the unexpected benefit of being able to search for day of the week however.
  • This isn't a severe limitation, since simply searching for the year works as expected, and most more complex searches for dates should be done with filters

Thanks for implementing this! Will put this off a little bit to see if it's possible to conduct search independent of specifying a field.

Hey @Acylation, although I appreciate the attention to detail (and yes, ideally, search perhaps would be better as a prompt instead of a field), but in the absence of such a highly requested feature, I encourage the implementation of this working search PR, with the mindset that it is open to being scraped when a better search is implemented in the future.

I agree. Although a search across all fields would be ideal, a search feature within a column/field specified is so much better that nothing at all. It'll add a lot to the Projects experience.

+1 to implement this!
