Lack of a `search` method for the saved list #2508

Tagging on from the previous issue, another feature that is extremely important would be the ability to search through this list.

In the current implementation, there seems to be no inherent sorting of the saved list. Thus users would have to search through everything just to find their article of interest.

Having a search command would be useful in the scenarios where users only remember certain parts of the title, the author and date. Being able to search through this saved list would assist users in finding their saved article easily.

The main point of the save function is for users to save articles into a text file so that they can refer to it later when the application is closed.

When an article is saved, the function informs the user of the data path of the file so that the user can refer to it. I believe it is possible for the user to search for articles in the text file using the ctrlf function, and that is beyond the scope of our application
