Learner Search Include Other Metadata

Courses and curricula are often built to include more than one lesson regardless of the object-lesson type. Our learners are reporting an inability to find the course/curricula in which a particular lesson is available (i.e., content at a more granular level) because the course or curricula description doesn't include the smaller chunks of content on which courses are built.

As noted in this help article, the learner-UI search results are limited to the following course-related metadata: course name, course description, course tags, and course vendor. Of note, my testing indicates that Chapter Names within a course are searchable, too, but not noted in the help article.

I would like to see this list include metadata at the object-lesson level, specifically the object name and object description that an admin enters when creating a course.

In other words, I don't expect the LMS to be able to search metadata or anything within a SCORM file, a video, or other non-Absorb-managed metadata or static file, but rather text I'm entering into Absorb that is also displayed in the Learner UI.
