Filter by keyword problem: can I type the keyword anywhere?

Question

I hope that I have explained myself sufficiently clearly.
I have assigned a few keywords to a few clips. Is there an easier way to search for a keyword than what I am doing?
Click the small loupe button,
That opens the filter window,
The first line is Text, which I uncheck (but Text cannot be removed) from the window,
Add a second line (keyword),
At that point, the existing keywords appear below, ready to check or uncheck,
That does the search as desired.
My question: is there a faster way, by just typing the known keyword into a field?
Am I correct that the only way to do a keyword search is to check the existing words, and not type them anywhere?
I can do this for Text, (for the clip name) without even opening the Filter Window--just typing the clip name into the field.
Thanks,
Sonny

I don't know of a way to search keywords by typing but if you click the disclosure triangle next to the Event name, that shows your keyword collections for that event. Click one of them and all the clips assigned with that keyword are displayed.
In the search box, you do not need to uncheck the Text search. Instead, click the small button with the down arrow and choose Keywords.
When all the keywords appear, they are checked but you can choose to uncheck them all, then select the ones you want. Not as quick as simply typing a word into a box, but an imporvement on what you described (I hope).
