Is it possible to have a single filter on multiple fields?

Events happening in the community are now at Drupal community events on www.drupal.org.

I have a content type A, that has let's say the following fields:
A->title
A->name
A->place_of_birth
I also have a taxonomy enabled for that content type (let's say called "Category")

Is it possible to build a view with a SINGLE exposed filter that will return all nodes that contain the search string either in the title, or in the name, or in the place_of_birth or in the category?

Of course I can have an exposed filter on every one of those but that will result in four search string fields, which is cluttering the interface and is not answering a very typical user's query: "Give me all nodes that have the word 'Drupal' ANYWHERE in its contents".

Thanks!

This thread proposes a possible solution, using the computed fields module. it's not perfect, but it works in some cases.
