Feature request: Let Gnome-Books search titles/author by default

I've been trying to find an ebook reader for the desktop, and Gnome-Books appears to be the most reliable for graphics-heavy images. However, the default search isn't helpful for an ebook library (even if it makes sense for the underlying Documents app).

Steps to recreate:

  • Open Gnome-Books
  • Click the Search button
  • Search a word that is part of a title but also commonly used in prose

Expected behaviour:

  • Gnome-Books filters by title and/or author, so searching for "Color" to find "Understanding Color" from the latest Humble UI/UX bundle returns just that book (because I have no other books with it in the title)

Current behaviour:

  • Gnome-Books searches content, so I get LOTS of hits because so many books use the word "color"
  • Manually click on the down arrow and select "Match → Title" each time (or Author, as appropriate)

If changing the default is inappropriate then storing the last setting would seem helpful and give consistent behaviour across uses.

Software versions: openSUSE Tumbleweed with gnome-books-3.28.2-1.1
