I often use filters in the search input by manually typing them, like `with:images`.
There are multiple filters, starting with different prefixes. `in:`, `:with:`, `status:` and so on.
It would be nice to have autocomplete suggestions when we write one of those in the search field.
Typing `in:` would show a selector containing `created`, `posted`, `likes`, `bookmarks`, `unseen`, `watching`, `all`, `messages`, `pinned`, `first`, `wiki`, `title`, `tracking`, `see` so we don’t have to memorize them all or look for them in the advanced search form.
Pretty much like the `/filter` feature, without having to preselect the filter from a prefix list.

We do have some of these, though I think it’s an incomplete list so we should definitely check if it has coverage for all the options
