[feature] Search games with a position

Hi, Lichess developers.

I don't know if this request has been posted before (and sorry if this has been posted before), but I didn't find similar threads.

It would be great if, from the analysis board or from the board editor, we have a button "search games with this position in". When we will click on this button, we will have a list of all games that contain with this position. We will have the sames filters than in the advanced research.

It would be very helpfull (specially for variants witch doesn't have a lot of theoricals books or lessons) for players who wants to progress, by seeing how hights rated players play in this position.

I don't know if this would be difficult to code or not, but this would be a (another) great feature to progress, like the chess insights.

Thanks in advances for your responses.
Hi Solal35,

stay tuned! Something similar is on the horizon.

(Orginially I set out to fully index all games and even allow fuzzy searches for positions. But as such a tool is most useful in the opening, that's what we ended up doing.)
