Description

Currently the search box for report data just says "Search" when hovering over it: image

And it seems that many people don't know that they can use regex in the search bar to make more advanced searches or use it as a filter for the data they're looking for.

We can either update the tooltip to give more info (I.e. "Search using a string or regular expression") Or we can link to the relevant FAQ that explains how to use the search function: https://matomo.org/faq/how-to/faq_185/

Research direction
Locate the search box component in Matomo's report view, likely in a PHP template file under plugins/ or core/. The tooltip is probably an HTML title attribute or a JavaScript tooltip. Decide whether to update the tooltip text to 'Search using a string or regular expression' or add a hyperlink to the FAQ (https://matomo.org/faq/how to/faq 185/). The change is a simple string modification; no complex logic needed.
