Table Wide Searching

In case you haven’t noticed, our app consists of tons of tables! We have historically offered the ability to filter within an individual column (show me only Paris, let me see all questions that match “camera”). We still have that when you want to filter on a very specific column. But we have noticed it could have been easier to just type into a box right above the table and search all of the columns at once. So we have introduced what we call, “table-wide search” on almost all tables in the application. Just type in your search terms and we will check every column for a match. In our internal use, we’ve found that this is a much more natural way to find what you’re looking for.
