Search and filtering for endpoints
Is your feature request related to a problem? I was making a write-up about best REST practices and something essential came to my mind. A functionality so common that it's surprising we don't have it - search.
Describe the solution you'd like
I'd like features listed above to be supported in all endpoints (if applicable). It could be done using BaseModel.filter() method that Flask-SQLAlchemy provides.
Search URL examples
/users?username=john
/users?location=us
/mentorship_relation/{request_id}/tasks?title=learn_react
Describe alternatives you've considered We can do all this stuff on the client side and considering current scale of the project, it's not really a big deal. However, serious problems will arise if the number of users (or data in general) gets increased.

I'm working on it, was a bit busy with some private things these days
I was occupied with other issues these days, hope to the PR in next two days.
@NenadPantelic any updates? If there's no response from @NenadPantelic , @b-thebest are you still interested to work on this?
Hey @vj-codes. Sorry, my timetable is full, I have a lot of things I'm working on at the moment. If @b-thebest or someone else is willing to, go ahead, the issue is yours. I'll ping you when I got some time if the issue is not solved at that point.
