That won't happen. Search by design looks for data in columns. There is no mechanism in search to evaluate a template during the search, and I am not interested in adding such a thing. First, the performance would be awful because of how calibre caches column values. Second, you can get the same thing by creating and hiding a custom column. And third, it would be hard to do for what appears to be minimal value.
