Inform the user about additional single media type filters when on the "all content" search results view #509

Problem

The filters on single media type views are much more powerful than on the 'all results' page, because you can search by source and other media-specific metadata.

Description

How could we make this more powerful filtering clear to our users? Maybe a small message at the bottom of the 'all results' filterbar, something like:

"Narrow your search to a single media type to enable additional filters"

Alternatives

We could make this even more prominent by doing something like showing a blurred-out filter below the message, something like this:

We could also do nothing, if this doesn't concern anyone.
