Add the ability to search metadata and title with single prefix

[PenDrag0n7]

Describe your suggested feature

Feature

I would like the ability to be able to search title and all meta data that contains a search term, without having to specify individual prefix.

The goal is to have have a prefix to make searching easy convenient, has multiple uses and overall simpler/ less "wordy". Especially when tying longer and more complex search on mobile and Tachyomi.

Expressions (A) Short hand Expression (B) Full form

Examples

1. Search any containing Horror This should search tags, genre, author, title etc to find if the term "horror" exist in any of them and return all matching results. Expression (A) => +"Horror" Expression (B) => any:"Horror"

2. Search any containing Horror, Action, Manga (Implicit OR) When given multiple search terms this should be Expression (A) => +"Horror" Expression (B) => any:"Horror"

3. Search any not containing This should return results that contain "Horror" but does NOT contain "Manga" Expressions (A) -> +"Horror" -"Manga" Expressions (B) -> any:Horror NOT any:Manga

this is not possible, by default some fields are searched depending on the entity type, as described here:

By default, the search will match the item title. For Books, the ISBN will also be matched by default.

Especially when tying longer and more complex search on mobile and Tachyomi.

Can you clarify the use case about Tachiyomi ?

[PenDrag0n7]

With Tachiyomi when you select a Manga then click one of the tags, the app just enters the word in search without the appropriate prefix which by komga's default behaviour only searches the title.

giving it a default prefix "any:" will help give better results, unless this is a know bug and there is already something in the works.

With Tachiyomi when you select a Manga then click one of the tags, the app just enters the word in search without the appropriate prefix which by komga's default behaviour only searches the title.

That's a Tachiyomi limitations, it's doing a global search, not knowing how to perform a tag search depending on each extension.

Having an any field would not address this case, as Tachiyomi would not change the behaviour, since it's global and not specific to the Komga extension.
