Omeka Add way to search collections by element text values.

Add way to search collections by element text values. We need to add simple search and advanced search filters to Table_Collection, similar to Table_Items. Perhaps we can generalize this functionality.

Probably a good idea, definitely not making it in 2.0.

Isn't this already there via the new search mixin?

It looks like Table_Item has _simpleSearch() and _advancedSearch(), both of which deal with element texts, but Table_Collection lacks these methods. Is this ok?

@patrickmj, Collections and their Element Texts should be searchable through the global search, but not in an element-by-element basis like the "advanced" item search.

@willynilly, we'd need those methods, or some analogous versions thereof, if we had a specific search capability for the Collections, but as of yet, we don't, so their absence is expected.
