Bases quick search capabile

[seddiejay]

Use case or problem

Quickly and ephemerally search a bases output for any text. Either full base file or embedded within a note. Find entries in long list (or card) outputs.

Proposed solution

Initial ideas are:

1. add a built in ‘search’ button/field in the bases rendered output (preferred)

• acknowledging this would only work in a bases output and not across text and bases in a note with embedded base

2. allow find (cmd/ctrl+f) to work on a bases output (most native and flexible
3. column header quick search filter (not desired but listed for completeness)

• pros: familiar like many other table style solutions
• cons: restricted to 1 column at a time

Current workaround (optional)

• Manually scanning.
• Adding a new filter view is too many steps and then would delete it - very orthogonal to the goal, so I don’t even do this.

Sometimes, I might want to search up a specific series or author, without creating an entirely new view for this. Proposed solution Allow for searching through CTRL/CMD+F or add a search box at the top of the base. This…
