Get the same results in the path browser as searching in assets or global search

Request for Feature Enhancement (RFE) Summary: When using a path browser and searching (ie in the thumbnail of the page) for a particular image, the results appear to only be based on the name. Search results from the assets search (when placing an asset in a page) or in the global search are different (as they appear to search the metadata as well).
Use-case: Have the same search results when doing a search using the path browser component as in other search location (assets search and global search)
Current/Experienced Behavior: On a base install of 6.5 with SP18: If you search for "biking" on http://localhost:<port>/mnt/overlay/wcm/core/content/sites/properties.html?item=/content/we-retail/us/en/experience/arctic-surfing-in-lofoten in the "Thumbnail" tab > Select image > then do a search for "biking", you get 3 results (with one being the "mountain-biking.jpg"). When you search for "biking" in the asset panel of the page (http://localhost:<port>/editor.html/content/we-retail/us/en/experience/arctic-surfing-in-lofoten.html), you get about 20 resulting images.
Improved/Expected Behavior: We should be getting the same results from a search using the pathbrowser component as other searches (so in this case 20 results)
Environment Details (AEM version/service pack, any other specifics if applicable): AEM 6.5 Out of the Box with SP 18 applied
Customer-name/Organization name: Jit Shrestha / Virginia Tech
