The search block allows searching only in Latin languages. Why not enable more languages?
While you’re at it. Allow determining if the base is LTR or RTL, in the settings.

Because this is so simple to include, we are not sure if this is a bug or just a very surprising oversight. When you click on the search button within a table, you can search for any data, in any field, in any record, instantly. When you click on the search button within the base/main view, it only appears to search the titles of the bases and doesn’t include the search results that you would see when searching in the table view. From our limited coding experience, this would likely take a couple of hours fix as all that would need to be done is, when a user uses the base view search, just also search each of the users tables (as is done in the table view search) and include those results alongside the standard base name results. This is a common feature in almost every other similar online service and so has become an expected, mandatory requirement from any user. We have found several alternatives that do the same thing or very similar to Airtable but their universal search also includes all records as expected. We would like to test out Airtable before considering promoting it to our sizeable audiences. This would result in substantial additional revenue for Airtable at any conversion rate. Not sure how long something so simple like this would take to fix but we would really appreciate any time scales as that will allow us to plan when determining whether to promote Airtable or one of the alternatives that already has the universal search that all users expect. Thank you.

We have been watching Airtable for many many years now but have not bothered testing it any further as have been awaiting the implementation of a search box on every page that allows uses to find results from every record, in every table, in every base. Currently in the app, one can only search for a base by its name instead of the search box including all records from any base. Interestingly, I have a business associate who has also not bothered switching over to Airtable for the same frustration and mentioned they also have another business associate who is in the same boat. This is very understandable as it is such a mandatory feature for any such similar service. Surely it would take the Dev team a matter of moments to code this in and allow users to fully test the service before deciding if they would like to inevitably upgrade. Can any representative from Airtable explain the business decision for this not having been already implemented as it is truly confusing. Many thanks

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.

TXT, PDF, DOC, ALS, etc. This would actually be a huge feature.

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
