Hi @Irma12, @freben, @camilaibs

Hope you're all doing well!

I wanted to check in on this PR. I had initially started exploring this feature during KubeCon 2024 but had to pause, so I was curious about the current direction—specifically, is the search logic intended to remain entirely on the frontend, or are we planning to involve the backend as well?

If backend integration is on the roadmap, I’d love to explore how we can structure that and would be happy to collaborate.

Thanks for driving this forward once again @Irma12

I think client side is fine for now - we are just waiting to see if @Irma12 comes back with feedback / fixes

@freben If needed, I can contribute again for the fest, I have just wrapped up my semester so have some time now.

I guess last we needed was filter length and the test set. @camilaibs @Irma12, please let me know if I can go ahead!

Hi Mihai, thanks for this. I have cherry-picked the previous changes in my own fork and am working on it. Will keep you all posted.

Hi @MihaiTabara @freben @camilaibs , I’ve made some related updates on my feature/add-search-members branch and would like to contribute them here so the PR doesn’t go stale.

Would you prefer I push directly to add-search-to-entity-members-card (if I have access) or open a new PR targeting this branch?

I’m fine with either, but I’d slightly prefer the latter so you can review it easily.
