[UX] Search needs improvements; Tag bubbles are useless #982

Describe the bug
The search is completely broken. When looking at a movie entry, there are bubbles you can click such as the director, actors, etc. But when you actually click on these, it just opens up a normal search for exactly what's in the bubble. I did this with Logan George from Caddo Lake and was given a HUGE list of films and shows, almost none of which had any involvement from Logan George and 99% of which had "George" or "Logan" in the name. I thought I had stumbled on a bizarre rabbit hole involving a 50 year career obsessively devoted to the guy's own name before I realized his name appeared nowhere in any of them. So the app is just doing a search for the thing I'm looking for and in the process burying me in irrelevant noise, rendering the bubble feature useless unless the director has a unique name like M. Night Shyamalan. That's not how a search of this type is supposed to work. I suggest taking a "meta tag" approach like most other sites do and hooking the tag bubbles up to it. I'll elaborate more in the expected behavior section.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to '...'
  2. Click on '....'
  3. Scroll down to '....'
  4. See error

Expected behavior
When I click "Logan George" on Caddo Lake's credits. I expect it to pull up movies he has actually worked on, which AFAIK is just two (Caddo Lake and Topside). Going back to the "meta tag" approach: If I click Logan George, it should search for something like "Director:(Logan George)" instead of just "Logan George", and then adjust the search back end to account for this, so if it sees "Director:(abc xyz)" it knows to search for "abc xyz" only in the directors. Not the title, not the synopsis, and certainly not the actors.
