Description is not being considered while doing full-text search
Describe the bug Using Aves I edited exif tags for one of my photos - added a description. But when I attempted to search among my photos, using a part of that description (one full word match) - nothing came out in search results.
To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Modify a description of any photo(s) and make sure it appeared among Exif IFD0 tags. For this our exercise set the description to "test description"
- Perform a search by providing strings "description", "test" or "test description"
- Nothing comes up as result
Expected behavior Photo(s) we just modified to set their descriptions to "test description" are supposed to appear in search results.

Additional context Or probably I'm misusing the search and it's not (yet) considering this IFD0 EXIF "Description" tag? If so, feel free to reclassify this as feature request
The app is not intended to index every metadata field. Titles and descriptions are borderline.
Also, there's currently some inconsistency in the app support for title and description. Titles are indexed, but descriptions are not. In Aves v1.6.13, you can edit descriptions but not titles, and metadata titles are always preferred over filenames. In the next version of Aves, you will be able to edit both titles and descriptions (already implemented), and I may add options to let users decide whether they prefer metadata titles or filenames to be used as titles.
I won't index descriptions for the time being. I hope people will use titles instead if they rely on text search. In any case I'm interested in feedback regarding the next version of Aves.
