The ability to filter global activity feed

[georgekarrv]

Problem

If you see a change has been made somewhere in the UI, you want to find who made the change to ask why it was made. To determine who it was you need to page through every activity and read each one hoping to find the line item with the change you saw and who made it.

Potential solutions

1. Update the api to support fuzzy filtering based on activity / team / username
2. Add a search bar to activity feed and allow the user to type to filter down to results they are looking for.
3. Stretch goal include helpful UI to suggest terms for different settings that the user may be looking for.

Thanks for tracking this @georgekarrv.

@nonpunctual I see you added a couple customer labels to this issue.

When you get the chance, can you please provide the example use cases discussed with the customer? What were they trying to do when they looked for the ability to filter the activity feed?

I believe for both customers the feedback was that any http request to the API was showing in the feed. Having many pages of results makes finding a particular event difficult.
