a great idea!..

Instead of having "Search by column" option(which should complicate
(not)a bit UI, for example original Journal has only on "Search" field) 
we could treat object's properties in the way of another "source" of
tags values.

For example if we have 100 books by 2 authors, user should scroll all
100 items to reveal this fact, but now he can find this information in
"tags sidebar"(which should contain only 2 items).

Though, in the case of 100 books by 100 authors it doesn't work,
but it could be suppressed by using composite tag "Author"(or so)

I've added this feature to Library features list.
