Filter Names in "Bringing Up Rumor" Page

Oh! You mean you want to say "I killed Urist McColossus," but you can't just type in "Urist McColossus" in the filter text box, you have to type "conflict"/"fight" because that's the only filter keywords that are attached to the rumor, but they're also attached to "this bird flew at my head" and "I saw this bandit once"?

Exactly that.
That is just ridiculous. I think I'll create a suggestion topic for that.

A fairly straightforward suggestion, though it may be difficult to code. I don't know how that code works.

Right now, you can't filter by name when bringing up rumors. This makes it frustrating, because you have to sort through "that wombat looked at me weird," "I struck down yet another goblin peasant," and such.

In addition, you could filter by (off the top of my head) species, caste, gender (though that is a special case of caste), and profession. Maybe syndrome, for vampireness/werebeastness.
