PowerToys Run Secondary Search #16378

Description of the new feature / enhancement

It would be really useful to be able to do a secondary search.

Scenario when this would be used?

For example, I search for "Excel" then hit Tab to move to a seoncondary search of Excel files. I could search for "Control" and then a secondary search for a specific control panel applet. I think this would make this search function much more powerful. I could search for Outlook, then for quick actions within like "New Email."

And a tertiary search coul access the contacts.

On macOS, QuickSilver does this. Very nice, indeed!
