Allow text fields to be searchable in an upload collection

[christian-reichart]

It would be great if a collection could be configured so text fields are included in the full text search, rather than having to use the filter function.

Use case:
I'm creating a collection for an icon library and added a field called "tags", so that icons can be searched efficiently. E.g. a pencil icon could have the tag "edit".

It would be great for our editors to just use the text search.

Solution:
Extend the admin object of the collection:

admin {
  searchableTextFields: ['tags']
}

This is a beautiful idea.

We would welcome this as a PR. The code to adjust is here. We'd probably need to feed the collection config itself into this component as a prop, so that we could access the searchableTextFields and then create a where query containing a few or clauses (one for each field to be searched on), but this is doable!

If no one gets to this, we will eventually for sure as I really dig the idea.

Awesome, I'll hopefully find the time soon to create a PR.
