Description of problem:
while performing a search on any Foreman entity, there is an error raised on filtering integer-based attributes with non-integer values:

This error exposes a SQL query:

Warning!
PGError: ERROR: invalid input syntax for integer: "not_an_int" LINE 1: ... WHERE (("operatingsystems"."hostgroups_count" <= 'not_an_int')) ORDE... ^ : SELECT "operatingsystems".* FROM "operatingsystems" WHERE (("operatingsystems"."hostgroups_count" <= 'not_an_int')) ORDER BY title LIMIT 20 OFFSET 0

How reproducible:
every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. login to webui
2. go to content-view page (e.g. architectures, operating systems,..)
3. type in a query based on an integer-based attribute (e.g. organization_id) and provide a non-integer value (e.g. organization_id = 'foo')

Actual results:
PGError warning

Expected results:
Although it is alright for the query to fail, the input should be validated before passed to the actual SQL query (perhaps a sql injection might be possible?).
The neat solution might be to display an error notification as a popup, so user doesn't need to leave the search page every time he makes an error in the search query

Additional info:
no SQL tables were harmed during producing this BZ.
