eeschema: Search panel finds only visible "Value" fields

Description

For various reasons I have unticked the Value "Show" flag in properties for most components.

I tried to use the Search panel to find components. I noticed that it does not find Value if it is not visible. It's the same for other fields as well; if I make "Footprints" field visible in schematic I can search for it based on the footprint.

PcbNew has exact same looking search panel but it does find the components even if Values are not visible.
