Search functionality should show the result with sorted cells not just highlight the cells with information. Just like filter.

thank you.

I agree that search functionality can be significantly improved.

In the meantime, you might want to check out the Search Block โ€” itโ€™s a more advanced searching tool that DOES show a list of records as the result, and you can even specify which tables/fields to search.

HOWEVER โ€” the Search Block also has significant limitations. For example, the results still canโ€™t be sorted at all. And you have no ability to โ€œmirrorโ€ the resulting list back into your main grid view, so you canโ€™t get the same list of records in your grid. You also canโ€™t export the records from the block, either. So essentially, the results just stand alone in the block, and you canโ€™t do much with them except click on them one-at-a-time to expand an individual record.
