Media Library: search the full query result not just title #3302

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Searching the library for e.g. 'ghostbusters' displays tracks with names/titles that include that word. It doesn't find or list folder/album parent items that match.

Describe the solution you'd like

It would be useful if it could also search parent items for the text, i.e. find folders/albums in the library that include the word. It would possibly be best as an optional feature, allowing the user to select whether to search 1. just tracks, 2. just parent items, or 3. match on either. If this isn't practical, matching on either would be the most useful approach.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Searching in a separate file manager instead of in the library will find the folders/albums. Or I've only got about 1200 folders in the library, so I know where most things are to browse directly to them.

Additional context

In the screenshot, only track titles (filenames here) containing the search term are shown. Each of the soundtrack albums contains additional tracks which aren't shown.
