Issue Summary
This one makes sense especially for bigger Drupal sites.
Sometimes the filter just doesn't filter enough and you have to search the content you were looking for by yourself. A regular search box would be perfect in sense of usability.

Guess that's something for D7, but it is a good idea!
#2
This should be independent of the search.module's UI, but dependent on search.module being enabled (due to requirement of active search indexes)

This is a good feature request. The request is to add a keyword filter to the content overview page on admin/content/node. This would let you display unpublished pages containing the keyword "foo", for example. Sending the keyword into do_search seems like a reasonable option. Instead of putting this in system module with an if(module_enabled('search')) I'd recommend putting it in search module's formalter implementation.
#4
I don't think the search module would really be necessary. Probably the biggest use case would be to search for a keyword in the node title, and this could pretty easily be accomplished with an additional filter in the filters section, without the search module.
Anyway, I think it's an excellent idea.
If someone is adding filters to admin/content/node, how about adding a filter for a date range (on created and/or updated date) as well? Or should I file a different issue for that suggestion?

See this discussion of a totally revamped filtering section for admin/content/node in the Usability group: http://groups.drupal.org/node/18008

features at this point are for D8

#1279652: Add search feature on the node listing admin page was marked a duplicate of this, although it probably has more info. Unfortunately that itself was closed duplicate of #497804: Search entities (nodes, terms, etc.) within the administrative interface (which is disputed :). @jhodgdon: this later issue works with node title search, so that should be matching your expectations. Marking this duplicate for that then.
