Bug #116645	Improved search in Connections list

Description:
In MySQL Workbench, on the Connections List Page, there is a small search icon in the top right. This only seems to half work. 

If you have multiple groups set up, with multiple databases in each group the search function only searches the current level.

e.g. on the top level, the search finds all groups that match the criteria.
If you open a group the search finds all connections in that group that match the criteria.

It would be really useful if this could search all the groups and connections.

How to repeat:
On the connections page create some new connections named 
"test1/db_test1a"
"test1/db_test1b"
"test1/db_test1c"

"test2/db_test2a"
"test2/db_test2b"
"test2/db_test2c"

On the top level (where you can just see the groups test1 and test2), in the search box type "test". You will only get the two groups, not all the connections.

Suggested fix:
On the top level (where you can just see the groups test1 and test2), if you search for "test" you should find all the above connections, not just the two groups.

HI Mr. IGG,

Thank you for your bug report.

Can you tell us please, what is the version and release of the Workbench and version and release of MySQL Server. Also what is the operating system that you are using .......

Hi Mr. IGG,

Also, we would like to know what happens if you click on any of those two groups ........

I am using Workbench 8.0.40 on Windows 11.
Most of my databases are 8.0.35 upwards (although not really relevant here).

If you open a "group" and search it searches inside that group, which I guess makes sense. 

The main issue for me is that it is unable to search inside all groups from the top level. e.g. to find all connections in all groups where the name is '%test%';

Hi Mr. IGG,

We can accept this as a feature request.

Verified as a feature request for 8.0 and higher.
