Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named in the issue. Start by locating the search implementation and the metadata fields for import, summary, and author, then inspect how display names are indexed or queried. Done means searches such as environmentheader can match the relevant metadata as well as display names.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

kind/proposal

Current behavior

Search Engine search only on display name. For instance,
a) search environmentheader, => returns zero result
b) search environment header => returns expected result

It seems to search only on display name.

Expected behavior

Search engine should allow users to search also on metadata like import, summary and/or author.
