That is an unusual request.
Why not land the user on the Table Home or even a report for Entities and then have the user start to type into the filter box. With each key stroke the list of Qualifying Entries will get shorter.
That is typically a perfectly fine user experience to find a record.

That is probably where I will have to go. We are moving from an in-house system and I've been trying to recreate the same functionality (wherever possible) to help ease user adaption. Thanks for all the suggestions. Your time and effort are greatly appreciated.

- MarkShnier__You4 years agoQrew Champion:) so the old system did not have that fancy character based filtering. So better to not replicating something that Quickbase has a better way to do. Will be an easy sell to your users because it is less typing.
As an aside, (and probably impossible to teach except for nerdy power users) you can use the word AND in that filter box.
so if you were looking for abc corp located in the state of Arizona and those fields were on the report (and there were many abc in the report), you could type
abc AND az
and get hits only where both string were found.
The AND must be in UPPER case.
