Am I mistaken or isn’t that a View? I think it’s a few clicks to add that alt text exposed filter.
Understandably this could be a new default. I’m just saying this probably isn’t much of a change.
Currently, the media library can only be searched by file name. This assumes that media creators use meaningful file names when creating images or other media. In real life that is often not the case. I regularly see file names like 1.3.1.png, 13867453.jpg or 1254175589_3c4a4466d4_b.jpg, which website editors are unlikely to know to be able to search on.
It would be useful to also be able to search the alternative text, which will typically include meaningful search terms.
Desired result: There is an alternative text field that you can use to put in one or more words that are meaningful that can be searched against the alternative text of those 100 images
Actual result: There is no way to search on alternative text. Attempting to use meaningful words to search meaningless file names does not provide useful results.
Option one: Provide a unified search field that searches both name and alternative text.
Option two: Provide an additional search field that searches alternative text.
Option one: Replace the Name label with a label reading "Name or Alternative text"
Option two: Add a field with a label "Alternative text"

Makes Drupal easier to use. Preferred over UX, D7UX, etc.
