Add syntax to include "search on content"

Especially for less mainstream search interests, there is often nothing tagged yet. So the user is left without a results list (though the 2 "quicklinks" are already a step towards mitigating that).
I suggest to establish a way, to include "search terms", that are then matched to 'text-on-page' instead of matched to tags. In the search box, the syntax could maybe be to enclose such a term in "..." .
This could help to prevent users having to "leave" for google when hitting a rare search term.

        I'm not sure if we want to prevent users having to leave for Google (in fact the Quick Links title is an explicit link to the Yahoo search results for the same query). MrTaggy isn't really meant as an alternative to all Google searches. What we could do is expand the Quick Links section in cases where there are few or no results, or provide a "try this search in Google" link.
