By “other values”, do you mean other columns in the same dataset, or values from the same column that are not presented on the view?

The column that contains “2018” - is that a computed or a non-computed column?  
The search only works with non-computed columns.

The first one is non-computed, but the one that is used in your collection (the second one) is a computed column. Try changing that to use the first column and see if the search works.

If you want to use computed columns in search bar, you may want to create a custom search bar.

Take a look at that template:
