Upgrade StorageMake Collections objects of Searches
It would be great to have two features expanding the role of collections in advanced search:
1) the option to include entire collections as objects of searches (so that collections could be returned as search results).
2) the ability for a "contains" operator when using the current advanced search of Collections. Now, Collections can only modify a search with "is" or "is not" modifiers. "Contains" would allow keyword searching of collection.
A use case combining both requests:
I could search for all collections containing the phrase "key" (my "tag" for important collections), returning a list of collections from throughout my extensive collections/subcollections structure that contained that phrase in their title. (Imbedded in this is really a request for allowing tagging of collections, too, I suppose...)
