Hello,

I’ve been evaluating nocodb as a solution to document samples and reagents in our (academic) research lab. This would typically involves 6 to 10 tables for different types of items.

I havent managed so far to find a convenient way to search rows matching a keyword (in any column) within a table, or for all tables in a project. After looking around, it seems that this is done using a “Search extension” in Airtable ([Extension | Airtable Support extension](https://support.airtable.com/docs/search-extension)).

Is there already any similar feature in nocodb? if not, is it planned in the (near) future?  
Alternatively, how straightforward is it to create a minimalist interface to do this?

Thank you in advance for your help.

I’d be grateful for some advice on this, or to be explained what a better support channel would be.
