Description
Originally submitted to Google Code by Raphael.Castaneda on 17 Dec 2012
Ride currently supports searching keywords or test names. However, there is no way to search by suite name.
Consider the example test suite structure below. I have nested test suites, where the "child" test suites represent a particular requirement number. I would like to search for a particular test suite (e.g. "Feature 002"). Currently, the only way to accomplish this is to duplicate the names of suites into default keywords, which creates extra maintenance work.

Research direction
Start by tracing the existing search behavior for keywords and test names in RIDE, then identify how nested suite names are represented. Add suite names as searchable targets, including nested suites such as “Feature 002”, and verify that searching returns the matching suite without requiring duplicated keywords.
