> Makes sense, but some performance impact numbers will be needed to
ensure search queries don't get slowed down any more than they already
are.
Without search restriction parameters in the UI, performance impact is
going to be always there and not much we should do about it, considering
that currently search for posts is being done in Content, which is, by far
the worse of all in terms of performance, not any close (more with the
current content GB formats)
Personally I believe that search by `post_name` can be a little overkill
and searching by Term description, I'm no going to say that is the most
demanded feature, but its fair and gives consistency. (Also searching by
slug in terms was an overkill also, clearly a poor design feature that was
decided on the fly for the sake of adding it)
Do we want to provide consistency for all 3, title/slug/content? Then both
should be added.
For testing is pretty simple: Just add a random word to slug in posts or
description in terms, and search for it.
