You could do it with a applescript that runs a curl to search your base.
set theResult to do shell script "curl 'https://api.airtable.com/v0/yourBase/yourTable?filterByFormula=(FIND(%22" & projectName & "%22%2C%7BName%7D))' -H \"Authorization: Bearer " & apiKey & "\" -H \"Content-Type: application/json\""
where apiKey is a variable with you api key and projectName is the string you are searching for in the name field.
