Two filters for the 'Name' field when searching for products to import

I think it would be useful to be able to search on two words in the ‘Name’ field when searching for items to import, for example….
I want to import clothing from Madison, so in SIM Import, I select Madison for the supplier and under brand I select Madison, the in name I want to filter all ‘mens gloves’ but this returns zero results. It would be great if this could return all the men’s gloves then I could hit ‘Add all searched’ and choose ‘mens gloves & mitts’ which would make life very easy.
However, this doesn’t work as it seems in the ‘Name’ field I can only filter by one word or an exact string of words.
Could a second field be added below the first for a second word so you could filter by one or two words, this would enable adding ‘men’ ‘gloves’ and all the other categories of men clothing and women clothing (and I daresay a few other such items) much more quickly.
The current method seems to require scrolled through 140 plus pages and setting the dept & category for each individual line or matrix. I’ve asked support if there is a quicker method but it seems not.

In a separate post I requested that CL do a bulk upload based on supplier categories, that suggestion has now been directed to the sales team. In my system I created a dummy category, to do a bulk upload. This means the items are in the system, and sorting of categories can occur later.
Better to have the items in your portfolio even if you don't have them in stock.
Regarding the filters, entering multiple key words in the same field, would be a good option. being able to use quote marks, for specific words would also help streamline the search, so that if you are looking for chain, you don't get chainsets, or chain rings
