Search feature - use the default text box as input for custom query

FEATURE REQUEST
It would be great if you could pipe the text field in the "quick search" into the Value field of the rules in a query. That would make it much easier to use a custom query.


OR (even better) allow Queries to have Forms associated with them.
This would also make things MUCH easier for a non techie user.

And for every techie user there may be 5 or 10 "non techie" users who *could* be using UR but would require 3 hours of training (more than the cost of the software)

E.g.,

Search for: __< type in project keyword>_

[Start] [Reset] [Copy] [Quick<<<]
(item) is Project
and (item) Keyword <Search for>

So, now when I bring up that Query... ALL I DO is type into the Search For (which is now enabled b/c it's being used).


USE CASE

- Custom queries are a little awkward. If I want to say, search for Projects, I need to create a custom Query and add a line to it for say "Search item for keyword ___". Then I need to call up that query, tab over to that search box, enter my text, hit return twice and ( this is the hard part) remember to clear it next time.
