Erx: Let cloud/CC search match a pasted list of filenames (not just 1-2 at a time)

When a client picks favorites through a gallery tool like Pixieset, the delivery workflow is: copy the list of filenames, paste into Lightroom's search, pull up just those photos to edit. Right now pasting more than 1-2 filenames breaks the search entirely, either no results or an actual error screen ("Oh no! A black hole"). This happens on both Lightroom desktop and the web app.

Lightroom Classic already handles this correctly (Library Filter > Text > Filename > Contains Any, works with any number of pasted names), so the underlying logic clearly exists. It's just missing from cloud/CC search.

This would help any photographer who delivers galleries and needs to pull a client's exact picks back into Lightroom to edit, which is a pretty universal part of the job, not an edge case.
