Summary	0005125: Allow searching by generated "Details"
Description	Allow the ability to search the action log by the generated "Details" which appear on the action log screen (generated by actionlog_linkage). This will make searching more intuitive as I would assume as a user that if I see it on the table, then I can search for it.
Tags	No tags attached.

That would mean altering all the hooks, and any new hooks doing that too. Alternatively, we could do an in-memory search - essentially return everything from the DB, and see what labels evaluate against our search term. Alternatively, we could cache the labels in the table - but this would waste space, and assume one particular language. Personally I don't think it's worth it, given the complexities there and given that the user can still find what they need by just searching particular types without parameters and scanning over, or by seeing the human-friendly labels on the Admin Zone home page and then clicking on the date there.
