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. ... View more

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 ... View more

What is the proposed idea/solution? When you search for records in Airtable interface, then click open a record in full screen, and then return to the interface, the search bar will clear itself. This slows work flow. Also, it would be helpful if the search bar stability was improved — when typing it will have some lag when it begins searching. If you continue typing, that will be overwritten when the search is finished. Who is the target audience? All users ... View more

What is the proposed idea/solution? Be able to copy & paste a booking entry in Timeline view on a new date (similar to how you can copy & paste a cell in Grid view) instead of needing to create a new booking and re-entering all the fields on the new date.  It would also be helpful to have a 'repeate booking daily/weekly/fortnightly etc.' in Timeline view. How does is solve the user problems? I use the Timeline view as a Staff schedule to see what projects they work on each week. Some staff work on the same projects weekly so I think this function would be a huge help and create efficiency with entering data. I've attached an example of our weekly schedule showing repeated bookings on multiple days.  Who is the target audience? Anyone using the timeline view where similar entries are made each week.  ...

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.   ... View more

What is the proposed idea/solution? Search tool/bar for mobile browser, otherwise it is not really functional for my needs!!! How does is solve the user problems? I send views to clients with a lot of rows, but they can't search anything on mobile... How was this validated? Have heard from multiple clients, this is annoying, close to switching to google sheets tbh Who is the target audience? B2B ... View more

When searching for fields via the pop-up widget "Select Fields to Show" (Automation Script - Find Records Grid toggle) and "Find a field" within the Grid View Hidden Fields control, the search required to find the desired field is too specific and the returns aren't broad enough. Airtable users would absolutely benefit from being provided improved "tokenised" field searches, where for example, if I had a field with the following name; "10km Run Handicap (Most Recent)" Upon typing in the field search query "10km recent" then I could expect any field to return that contain the tokens "10km" and "recent". As it stands, users are required to type almost the exact field name to have the desired field returned - which is overly frustrating, considering the way most field names need to be constructed when dealing with hundreds of similar functioning fields, all with similar names, within the table. The user needs the ability to type in a word (token) that the field may contain at the start, and another word(token) that the field may contain in the middle, or the end of the name, and see the fields that they're looking for. Field Search operators would also be massively welcomed, for example I could use the search term "10km OR 5km recent" to return all fields with either "5km" or "10km", and the word recent. Another example could be "NOT 2km recent" where both "5km" and "10km" results containing the word "recent" would return, but nothing with "2km". ... View more
