Add Search Bar to Form

Hi, 

My users frequently navigate back and form between apps. Usually, when they navigate back to an app, they want to immediately search all records on a specific table in that app. Unfortunately, by default Quickbase is returning them to their last viewed record in each app, meaning they have to return to the home page each time in order to use the search widget. 

Is there a way to add a search widget to a form? Ideally the functionality would be identical to the search widget on the home page, for ease of use. 

Thanks
Thanks, Alex

    There may be an advanced way to accomplish this, but it definitely sounds like a great product idea. Please add this on uservoice and you have my votes.

    How are your users navigating back and forth between apps?

    What I am seeing here:
    1.the users are viewing a record on a form in App A
    2.click the app banner tab for App B and navigate to a record on a form in App B
    3. click the app banner tab for App A - which takes them to where they left off in App A

    We can create a formula url button to take you where you want to go from app to app, but we need to define the targets. 
    Is it always the same Table from App A?
    Is it required to navigate to a specific report or table default in App B?

    Perhaps you can expand on the use case for me, and I can help you.
