All I want to do is find the next occurrence of a word on the current grid. In most programs you simply use Ctrl-F and repeat until you find the specific occurrence of the word you want.
When I use Ctrl-F (supposedly the "quick search"), it opens a new search grid. That's not what I want. I want to stay on the current grid and go directly to the word. Or better yet, filter the current view so it shows only the items that contain the word. That would be ideal. Surely, there's a way to do that
Instead I'm taken to another grid and things only go downhill from there. I think this is showing the new omnibox. I spent 15 minutes reading posts on omnibox and still have no idea how to use it or what it's good for.
So now the search grid lists supposed occurrences of my word. Except my word is nowhere on the page because the search grid does not show the column that contains the word. OK, I figured i just click on one of the shown links and it'll take me to the word in the orginal grid. That doesn't work either. It just takes me back to the original grid and doesn't show where the word is.
Update: I figured it out but I'll go ahead and post this because maybe it'll help someone else. To filter the current view using a search word: Column>Column Filters>Show Filter. A dialogue pops up and you can enter the search word there. That filters the current view using that search word. To me, that's ideal.
Follow up question: is there a way to set this filter dialogue to show permanently in the tool bar so I can type in a word any time and filter the view?
