Searching definitions

New feature description. The ability to search for ontology classes based on definitions.

Use cases The definitions of many cell ontology classes include marker genes that are not necessarily present in the name. This feature would make it much easier to search for classes by marker genes and any other defining characteristics. For example, one could search "CD248" and hopefully find CL:4028006 ("alveolar adventitial fibroblast")

Describe the solution you'd like An option to toggle whether to search the class definitions in addition to the class names. Searching the class definitions probably is not the ideal default option but it can be useful to have.
