Feature suggestion: Search Table

Open StrollStars opened this issue 4 years ago • 5 comments

In my opinion, if I can search the table, I can find what I need more quickly in the table.

I'd like to take a stab at this when #154 and #155 are merged.

@activescott The simplest thing would probably be filtering the active selected table. Do you have any suggestions how to visually display search results over multiple tables? Would it be acceptable to load all tables in memory when loading a file, or should this be done on-demand while searching?

I know how to search.

@learn-more if you want to reopen this feel free or let me know if you cannot. The filegrid has a search behavior (you have to enter characters while it has focus) and we should probably look at a way to generalize that and apply it to the table (and maybe make it more discoverable).

@StrollStars if you aren't interested in the notifications you can unsubscribe on the right 👉 - if you don't think this feature is needed let us know!

@activescott I cannot reopen this (But I can work on it with just a PR).

I already took a look at the sorting to make it more generic and I have a few ideas for that. I'll create a PR for that so you can comment on it after my other PR is closed.

@activescott I am used to closing the resolved issues, please don’t care.
