Issue 659: Add ability to search for changes by commit message keywords

A useful feature would be the ability to search for changes by keyword.  In large Gerrit installations, it is impossible to find a change in progress unless you know who is working on it.  This feature would be particularly convenient in situations where commit messages are tagged consistently.

Are we talking about full text search?
Or just indexing the footers?

Having full text search for git commit text values would be convenient.  However, just indexing the first commit text line would be sufficient.


Example:
If an open change in Gerrit had this commit text:

"foo: bar: Support new widget xyz

Change various files to allow functionality of xyz.

Signed-off-by: David"

Being able to search for "bar" or "xyz" and finding this change in Gerrit would be very handy.

Yes.  Its not indexed, but the new message: operator can
apply a regex to the commit message.
