Documents list needs search function

Description

I'm sure that I'm not the first to think of this, but I couldn't find a discussion or recent changeset on this topic. I realize this is a feature request without a patch attached, but Ubuntu UDS-L just completed, and there are now approximately 300 documents to wade through trying to find the one you want or remember seeing that had a tid-bit of info that you need.

The ideal solution would be a text search along with two check boxes: [ ] Search titles [ ] Search document body so that the user could search either or both, as they choose.

This is on Gobby 0.4.9, which is what is available in the Ubuntu repo's. I'm sorry that I'm not able to install a newer version at this time to verify that this hasn't already been addressed.

I agree in general. At least title search should be relatively easy. As for document body search, I'm wondering whether to implement this on the client or on the server side. I guess server is the way to go actually, but for large directories we have to make sure that it stays responsive while searching.
