Player Journal Search Bar

Suggestion: add a Search Box to the journal for players that matches the functionality of the GM's search bar. As a game GM, I have the ability to type in keywords or tags (if I have actually bothered to tag characters or handouts) into a search bar at the top of the journal page. Much to my surprise, my players do not have this basic feature. As a result, nearly every session, I am forced to search for handouts/characters etc on behalf of my players, and then hit the Show to Players button.  Roll20 looks to be adding a lot of quality of life improvements this year, so I'd love to see this implemented. In the meantime, if anyone else is looking for a solution, there is a "Search" script available to pro subscribers, written by The Aaron (of course!).
I went and did the tagging for my players only to find out they don't have a search box like I do. 
I'm really surprised there isn't a bigger demand for this. Seems like low hanging fruit for Roll20 too, considering this feature already works for every subscriber, and is only limited base on the GM flag in the campaign. <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/3280441/slug%7D" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/3280441/slug%7D</a> <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/5885681/slug%7D" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/5885681/slug%7D</a> <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/5873538/slug%7D" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/5873538/slug%7D</a>
Maybe it would be good to join this and this: <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/7381724/full-text-search-in-journal-content" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/7381724/full-text-search-in-journal-content</a> My suggestion is an enhancement to the search bar an of course players should also be able to search.
