Please consider adding on/off buttons (checkboxes) to the filters to allow users to toggle individual filters on/off. Exhausted from creating/deleting/creating/deleting/creating/deleting/creating/deleting/creating filters 🙂

What is the proposed idea/solution? What's existing is that when clicking the + button on a "Link to another record" column, it shows a "search box" and we can find an existing record, but you can only search for the linked record's value. It would be more efficient to be able to find an existing record using its other parameters (maybe the four columns that are shown). In the example image below, if I type "Notes C" or "1335", it should show Item 3. What's currently happening is I should strictly type "3" or "Item 3" to get to that linked record. It's especially inconvenient if it's a lengthy SKU or something like "A Very Long Title Like This and That Vol. 3" when I could use that linked record's other columns to find it. How does it solve user problems? It allows the user to quickly find a linked record through other parameters and makes workflow more efficient. How was this validated? The first four columns on the find field are the linked table's first four columns too, so if the user wants to "customize" the first four columns, they can trigger "Limit record selection to a view" when making that linked record column to use that specific view's first four columns. Who is the target audience? Users who use linked records a lot with multiple useful columns.

It would be nice to optionally enable Clean URLs for Airtable pages. Currently, Airtable urls are basically a random string of characters that give no information on what is at the url. So if I shared an Airtable link with someone, instead of seeing something like https://airtable.com/appdfvokijweroiwdroikj/tbldfvolkfgvlmkvblk/viweiociokjwefn and have no information on what they are about to click on, it would be something like https://mycompany.airtable.com/my-awesome-base/my-great-table/grid-view

What is the proposed idea/solution? A global search bar for Interfaces. This would more than likely be in the form of an interface page but I could see it as a component for a blank interface page. This would pull up results pertaining to keywords with direct links to the records for the available interface pages. How does is solve the user problems? This would allow quick and easy access to various records in one action.

It would be great if I could search/filter/sort/group based on comments. Is that an option that I’m just not aware of how to use?

I've been organizing my lessons on airtable. Multiple picture attachments and comments for explanation. I just realized that there's no way to search for a particular comment. I'm lost here after a couple of months into the project. Idea: Search should include comments Critical to collaboration & finding the right attachment.

The search functionality (if I am not mistaken) currently indexes only across actual columns in each table / base. In case users frequently use the comment function on records (e.g. sales teams), would be great if the search function also indexes comments on each record.

The search block accomplishes a way to find items in my tables, and I like it.
I believe a logical extension to this function would be to allow one to update many records (mass) as a 'find and replace" use case, in addition to searching the table.
Please consider adding this feature, as I believe it to be a very useful productivity case, and it will indeed be popular for all block users.

What is the proposed idea/solution? ... A new feature that transposes the Rows and Columns of a View. How does is solve the user problems? ... It is useful to transpose the Rows and Columns of a Table for for viewing and / or calculations. In Airtable it is more efficient to create Records for time rather than Fields (e.g. each Row is a unit of Time like a Week, Month, Quarter, Year, etc. and not the column). The ability to see each unit of Time as a column moving from left to right is standard practice. How was this validated? ...This is a core feature to all spreadsheet applications. Who is the target audience? ...All Users

What is the proposed idea/solution? There is not currently an option to add a generic search bar to a custom interface page. The only option is to have different filter options How does is solve the user problems? It would give users the abilty to search multiple different fields without having to make sure they are typing matching text in the correct filter option How was this validated? User experience. The photo attatched shows the custom view that is being used, the reason I do not change it to the prefigured Kanaban view is because there is another view below it that I like having on the same page as the Kanaban view. Who is the target audience? Airtable users
