Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I need to find relevant topics/ideas already on the platform. The current implementation of the "filter" textbox in the side panel is not terribly useful since there's only 10-20 topics which is easy to scan.

Describe the solution you'd like I'd like to use a regex to search/match the topics/ideas on SeeChat x Ideas. The same textbox can be used to either search for ideas or topics, based on a toggle which enables either topics or ideas. The side panel would update its content when I click ENTER. Autocomplete would be nice to have, but not required.

Describe alternatives you've considered The painful alternative right now is to keep refreshing the random sample of ideas shown on the side panel until maybe I can find a relevant idea/topic. Not good.

Additional context The regex functionality may be harder to implement than the string match. I recommend starting with string match then add regex functionality later if more users request it.
