Request: search games by ECO code to make Chess Insights useful

I'm trying to make use of Chess Insights. One of the default filters it has is "What is the win-rate of my favourite openings as white?". It points out that I play D37 (QGD) quite a lot but score very badly with it.

So naturally I want to find my games where I played that line, to see what the problem is. However, there is no way to search for them. This makes the Chess Insight feature quite useless.

I'd like "ECO code" to be added to the Advanced Search form so I can look for games played with some code.

It would be awesome if, additionally, the table that Chess Insights shows linked to the games. The numbers in the "Number of games" under the graph could be links to a search to exactly those games.
I agree and have requested something similar before. Finding the games that are the basis for a stat would be incredibly useful.
I think the best would be to add a filter in the opening book next to lichess and masters: something like "mygames" sub-divided by bullet blitz and classical. So that I can see what are the moves that I usually play and the results, it would be a nice way to crawl throgh our own games and maybe is more intuitive than ECO code.
When it says how many moves/games a stat is based on it should link a list of those games, and clicking on the game should open up the game in analysis, directly to the move, highlighted.
#1 I defer to other developers' advice; I don't know enough to comment on this.

#4 For performance reasons that Insights change isn't a viable solution at this time.

There is a manual way (workaround) to find those games:
Use advanced search, to get all games with analysis:
http://en.lichess.org/@/Scarblac/search?sort.field=d&sort.order=desc&analysed=1
Insert for example D37 into browser search textfield and start the search.
if you could not find any (which will first happen in this D37 example): scroll down to page end (this will load other games)
and start the search again. This is a bit ugly but if you know the key shortcuts for these tasks then
it is quick enough.
@kettwiesel: thank you, it is indeed less trouble than I thought it would be to just scroll down until all games are shown, and then use ctrl-F.

But still, it shouldn't be too hard to add this to the search fields, assuming that if this information is shown with each game, then it's probably stored as a field in the database.
