in the library filter text search, i'd like to be able get results if a word matches as word in the folder name itself, as opposed to just in keywords, file names, etc. Is there any way to accomplish this, even if I have to go about it in a roundabout way?

The text search option "any searchable field" includes looking at the image's immediate Folder name, but not at the names of parent folders above this.

The easiest way is in the Folders panel where the filter box shows only those folders with the text:

Or you can use a smart collection:

I don't think that you can filter on folder names, but you can create a smart collection that does this. Alternatively, the 'AnyFilter' plugin from John R. Ellis can do this as far as I know.
