Possibility to search on ArcGIS Online tags when using the layer catalog
At the moment the Layer Catalog tool doesn't search against the Service Connections configured in the Manager.
The layer catalog tool will search the layer catalog, and the site.xml, as well as the sites' REST endpoint for the layer names.
For this reason, when using the Layer Catalog tool in the HTML 5 Viewer, it is possible to search on a layer name of one of the layers included in the layer catalog but not on a tag. These tags are configured in ArcGIS Online or Portal for ArcGIS to make it easier to find the services.
For big projects this is rather inconvenient because users do not know all the names of the included layers. It would make the user experience better if it would be a possible to search on tags additionally to search on names.
