Currently the search block does not match “partial match” queries. It should match plural form of words and have an option to match synonyms or possible misspellings.

What is the proposed idea/solution? The interface search bar will return 0 results if the beginning of the string is not entered How does is solve the user problems? We use airtable to track our jobs. We have several jobs that start with the same 4 digits (2714XXX). When we search for a part we typically just enter the last 3 or 4 digits of the part number instead of the whole part number. For example a part number 27142264 we would just enter 2264 in the search bar. How was this validated? In our base if you enter 2264 in the search bar it returns 0 results, but if you enter 27142264 it returns 2 results. Who is the target audience? Anyone that uses the search bar and cannot remember the start of the string they are searching for or anyone that uses part numbers similar to our system.

Hi there, If you use some special characters like characters with accents, you’ll need to use them in your searches too. For example, the accent character “é” in the word “président”… You won’t see it in the search results if you type “pres”… You must use the accents too in your search terms like “pré”. Could you make the search less strict ? Thank you guys

Sections can be very helpful to organize views within a table, and now that I have them, I can’t not wish that I had them for the tables themselves too. Scrolling back and forth is no bueno. The search toolbar is helpful, but it would be nice to add some further organization as well.

The search block is great. But I use it to add content and context to tables. I would like to be able to search not only tables but also the block itself.

There greatly needs to be a filter in an interfaces Revision History. It should show as a pill next to the word Revision History, just like the filter pill shows on the new Record List interface. Or it could be next to the bell icon for changing the watching comments option. This way if you are viewing revision history you can narrow in on a specific field(s) to see only those revisions.

What is the proposed idea/solution? To have the ability to filter a certain field type when finding a field. Say, I have 100 columns with different field types and I created a fresh new view. For a clean starting point, I'd hide all fields, leaving me with the first column. Then, I want to unhide certain columns. I'll have to go through my 100 fields to find what I'm looking for or search for the field name on the provided search box. But what if I don't recall the field name but I know what field type it is? What if I know it's a Number or a Lookup? Right now, the best solution is to scroll down and focus on the icons, which is tedious if I have 100 fields. This idea, on the other hand, will make me filter Number, and it will show me fields that are Number types, and I'll easily find what I'm looking for. How does it solve user problems? Adds efficiency to scrolling many fields to find what you're looking for. Not just for hidden views, but finding fields in Filter, Group, Sort, Color, and many others. How was this validated? Add a little dropdown on the right of the search box when finding field for filtering different field types. Who is the target audience? Everyone who uses Airtable.

The default responsive 'card layout' of an embedded view is perfect for mobile phones. However, the big disadvantage is that the search and filter toolbar disappears in this card layout. This makes it basically useless if you have many records in one view (in my case >1500). In theory, I assume this should be a relatively easy fix. Within the Airtable App the function already exist. I know it is possible to tell your browser to load the site in 'desktop mode', but if you use a table with many rows and columns this just doesn't give the right experience on a small screen. I built an advanced product portal using 'embedded views' that show >1500 records. The search and filter possibility enables you to find the exact product you need. The portal even comes with a responsive web app. But this final lack of functionality makes the tool practically useless for mobile phone usage. I know there may be 3'rd party solutions that come close to this functionality, but I just can't stand it that this functionality is missing. The card layout comes so close to being perfect, it just need a responsive search and filter toolbar! Any development in this would be greatly appreciated!!!
