In an Entity View, it would be useful to have a button for each collection to open the Quick Search box but scoped to search only the entities within that collection. Use case: My Project type includes a collection of “Meeting Notes” entities, and I want to easily search all of my Meeting Notes entities, but only the ones related to this Project (i.e., those in this particular Collection). _The general need is for more flexible ways to limit/scope a Search._ I.e., **In any View** , it should be possible to easily search only the entities appearing in that view. Perhaps there could be a checkbox on the Quick Search dialog for “Limit search to current View/Collection”? ---

Agreed, this would be useful. Also related: > [@Table view - quick search](https://community.fibery.io/t/table-view-quick-search/1846): > > 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. ---

Second this, would be very helpful. ---

did anything change about this? it would be great to be able to just search within “tasks” when viewing “Tasks List” for example - just a “filter”, but easily accessible. ---

I might be wrong but search doesn’t seem to support “meta-data”, i.e. content in .txt files or even content fibery markdown/document “files” or fibery descriptions are unfortunately not yet searchable. 😕 ---

I would love to see this feature! When I was using Notion it had both the global search and also being able to search from the current database/view. I know Fibery has the global search but I think having the **view specific** search helps stay in context “_I am in this project to update the site and I want to find a specific task_”
