Currently there is no search field in lists and tables. There is only the global search, which is outside of the view window therefore not intuitive and also requires extra clicks to filter the view down to the current list and table.

Apart from a view search box, I can imagne that each view has headers that can be click-sorted or turned into a search box for each field.

> At the moment it’s not easy to quickly search table view. If I use “Ctrl+F” it only search in the visible scope. In theory you could use filter to narrow down results - but that’s too complicated to be used on a daily basis. This is a bit painful limitation when moving from Google Sheets. You can sometimes use global search as a workaround - but only if searching by entity name.
