[TYPO3-v4] Improving/changing BE search

[Xavier Perseguers]

Hi Dmitry,

> search only.

Seems to make sense, one case where I see a field with only number would 
not make sense to search with equals would be a phone field but this is 
for sure a varchar already, hopefully ;)

> Secondly, it should only search tables and fields that are explicitly

> are not marked as such but it would improve search quality in general.
> For the core, we would mark tables like that in the core, so no
> functionality change here.

An explicit note with example should tell extension developer how to 
enable this...

> Thirdly, field should be able to specify how to search it. For example,
> it could have a collation and case sensitivity options specially for

Sounds good so far!
