Search Features, Fixes

• Shortcuts: movie: maisie will search movies for the phrase Maisie (overriding the menubar selection)
• These shortcuts are also supported:
  • book:reagan (books with Reagan in the title)
  • band:dead (bands with dead in name)
  • born:1969 (people born in 1969)
  • died:1969 (deaths in 1969)
  • living:david (search living people named David)
  • dead:david (search dead people named David)
  You can't stack shortcuts, though. The left hand side of the query ("movie", "band") must be at the start. Searching for movie:living dead finds the appropriate set of zombie movies, though.

• Full-text search preview has been improved. Sample query: Spider-Man
