Use plugin result values as input values in search

In "Change attributes" it's possible to use result values as input values. It would be great if this would also be possible in search.

A search for what ?

Take this thread as example:

My plugin file.IsInList could be used to compare the current file name with the given list and therefore used as a powerful filter.
So my suggestion is of course not limited to the search but also applies to search filters. It's useful when the filter depends on the name or other attributes of the current file (or in other words: if the search term is defined by the plugin field) instead of a static value entered by the user.
Here is a mockup:

Support content fields in search string.
However, in this case TC should calculate search value for every file separately, so this will slow down search. But sometimes it may be useful.
