There currently are two search buttons visible in Fibery, one in the top left corner for a global search, and one search icon that shows up at the top left corner of a view.

This is the search icon at the top left of a view:

But when clicking on that, the results are not by default limited to the current view. This would be the expected behavior. For example, it could show the global search with the current view as filter. Instead now it shows the default global search:

It is correct that the magnifying glass is always a shortcut to global search.  
With this in mind, isn’t this effectively a duplicate of

> [@Provide search functionality in views (lists and tables)](https://community.fibery.io/t/provide-search-functionality-in-views-lists-and-tables/4632):
>
> 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.
