Joint search across all views of an application #1992

Open

Description

@EEngl52

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I would like to use tables applications to manage projects. The views in the application each contain different aspects of the individual projects, which are created as rows. Even with a higher single-digit number of projects or rows, the application becomes very confusing.
The individual views each have a separate search function that can be used to filter a view according to the information required. However, it is not yet possible to perform a joint search across all views in an application, filtering all views accordingly, so a search must be performed for each individual view.

Describe the solution you'd like

It would be great to have a further search field at the level of the application which searches and thereby filters all views in the application at once. As is currently the case, the restriction to the search results in the individual views should remain in place until the search is deleted, so that the filtered views can still be edited.
This would allow even applications with multiple views and a large number of rows to remain easy to navigate.

Describe alternatives you've considered

It would also be possible to use the existing search fields of the individual views and add a checkbox or similar ‘Search in all views’ next to them, which would then execute the search simultaneously in all views of an application.

    Similar problem: I have multiple views in an application which share a common key field "Case ID" connecting the semantically related rows. I'd like to be able to filter all views to a specific "Case ID" value without having to enter that filter on every view.
