The other day I wanted to search my resources by Martin Luther. I don't have many by Luther so I didn't really want to create a collection just for that one search, but I know of no alternative, so a new collection it was.
It would be nice to have the ability to use the same filters used to make collections only have them directly in search. When specifying Search In in a basic search, instead of selecting a specific resource, collection, etc, add the ability to type author:Luther, etc. Allows me to avoid creating a collection I may never use again.
