Description
Currently you can search a score by measure number, page number and by rehearsal mark, but not by the lyrics of a song.
I would like to request to be able to search by words in the lyrics.

No files or tests are named. Start by tracing how MuseScore currently searches by measure number, page number, and rehearsal mark, then determine how lyric text is represented and searched. Done means searching for words in song lyrics returns the relevant score locations.
