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?

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.

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:

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.
