Add a search box to a table's top bar

Question

So we are constantly going back and forth to the table icons to search... we use QBase as a CRM, so for example, we are looking at a customer's record, and if we need to look up another customer, we hit the "Customers" button at the top table bar, then search. I'd like to have that search function on the top, on the line where we have the "new customer" green button, etc. This would save us a lot of clicking around. Any idea if this is possible? I couldn't find any way to edit that bar.

So out of the box it would likely be a good feature enhancement, but currently there is nothing in the settings that has that as a feature. That said - if you're familiar with the Image Onload Technique and feel comfortable with scripting techniques, you could run a script with IOL that dynamically adds HTML to the page when it loads, and then add your own Javascript into the element to achieve the functionality you want. Credit to the link below for the building block behind it.

With that - you can run a code page that does something like:

var input_html = "<input id='customer' type='text' placeholder='Search Customer #' style='border-radius:2px;height:25px;font-size: 12pt'>";
 input_html += "<span style='cursor:pointer;margin-right: 25px' onclick='searchCustomers()' class='BrandBarIconDark Find DisplayInlineBlock WithText'></span>"
 $("#pageNavBarActions").prepend(input_html)

Looks something like this when complete

This will add a search box next to the save button - all you would have to do is configure the searchCustomer() function in your code page and you'd be all set.
