Small design request - please add Search for my installed Apps in Dashboard… I have quite a number of apps installed. It would be easier to search for them than to scroll down the list, it’s getting big. Yes I can have multiple dashboards, but getting to the list I need is 2 clicks. It’s easier to search for apps. ... View more

It would great to have a way to search and jump to a header. Command + F only allows searching through the records. It would be great if there could be a Command + Shift + F to search the headers of the table and jump to it. This is especially a pain point when there are 300+ fields. Thanks ... View more

When I selecting linked records in a field, the search function only allows me to search based on the primary field. However, my primary field names are not informative (AB001, e.g.). What I really need is to search by one of the other fields of the linked record. This should be possible. When there are so many linked records to search, you have to be able to do better searches. Google Tables allows this and so does Ninox, so I know it’s possible. Do we have a formal feature request queue for Airtable to send directly to the developers? ... View more

This thread inspired me to make this product suggestion, which is a standard feature of most database systems: Currently, lookup fields can only lookup information from one DIRECTLY-CONNECTED TABLE. But often times, we want to lookup information from a table that is “multiple tables away”. Even if all those multiple tables are linked to each other via a specific “path“, the field that we want to lookup still has to be continually looked up through every single table along the path. In other words, we have to keep recreating the same lookup field over & over again for each table along the “path” until we get to the current table — in order to “pull the information” through multiple tables. However, if all the tables are already linked to each other, we should simply be able to specify the “path” from our current table to the other table, and then we could instantly lookup a field from that other table to our current table, even if that other table is multiple tables away. In other words, we should be able to instantly lookup a field from “multiple tables away”, instead of only being able to pull in data from the one directly-connected table. If this sounds confusing, I would take a look at how FileMaker Pro accomplishes this. They make the concept very easy & very simple to understand. ... View more

It would be great if the Search Block would let us search for entire phrases in our database, instead of breaking up the phrase into individual words. For example, if we wanted to search for this phrase: “cat on a hot tin roof” Airtable’s Search Block would return ALL the records that have ANY of those words: cat on a hot tin roof But we only want to return the records that have the ENTIRE phrase. This is typically done in other database languages by putting quotation marks around the phrase. But using quotation marks in the Search Block doesn’t change its behavior. Interestingly enough, using the “Find in View” feature on the grid view actually DOES respect entire phrases, but that just highlights all the matching phrases within your view, so you have to scroll up & down through all of your records to see your matching results. This would be very difficult to do with thousands of records. Thanks! 🙂 ... View more

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. ... View more
