Add option to bring back simple search on Commit Graph

[jusmccar]

Description

On v17.8.0, the Commit Graph search was changed to be more advanced, but the majority of the time I just want to search commit messages. I know I can do that with the new version, but now I have to type message:"" every time. It would be nice if there was an option to remove this advanced search dropdown and have it search the way it used to.

Nothing changed in that respect -- just type the query you want, and it will still default to searching by message.

[jusmccar]

No, it doesn't function the same as before. I still have to at least add "" around my message or else it might grab one of the keywords. For example if I want to look for commit messages that contain the word change, if I just type change it grabs the new search keyword change. Also, even if it doesn't grab a keyword, the dropdown always shows Search using natural language until I click away. The UX is much worse after this update.

An option to disable this dropdown completely would be very nice.

Ah, I see. We will work on improving this experience. If your query doesn't match an operator, hitting enter will run the query — it will only select the operator/"Search using natural language" if it is highlighted.

@justinrobots we'll need to see what we can do to make this experience easier to use.
