Just to clarify Gordon's response (because it was new to me when I
figured out how this worked and it took me a second).

If you enable the search module then Views has a "search index" field
that you can have as a filter (including exposed filter).  This then
searches the drupal search index and returns items in the view based
upon the search index from the search module.

It's amazing all the little features in different modules that I miss
during my first (and second and third) use of them.
