Description

The search (filter) panel at the moment filters on names only.

IIRC it works if you type more than word then both words must be somewhere as a substrings in any other in the name.

It would be nice if you could use it to be able to use it also to find things like roles, company, or strings in the note field.

(Just make that the default, or make it an option?)

Research direction

Start by locating the search/filter panel implementation and the current name-only matching logic. Confirm how names are split and matched, then define the intended default or option behavior; done means searches can also find roles, companies, and note-field text.
