 > 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.
