Next UI ‐ showing the search bar in list view, always - jcmings/sn GitHub Wiki

Editing late to add... this doesn't seem to work in all instances, unfortunately... I've read about and attempted setting a user preference (glide.ui.list_header_search.open) but have run into some trouble. It's possible that the instance this all fails in is just outdated.

I can't be the only one that's annoyed with the now-missing search bars at the top of list views. Using the search on the header menu isn't effective, because you have to go through the extra step of clicking which field you want to search, and it defaults to "greater than" -- which, I'll note, you can change by adding a system property glide.ui.goto_use_contains and setting it to true. (You may have to set the glide.ui.goto_use_starts_with property false if it exists in your environment. More details can be found here on the official docs).

Anyway, back to the topic at hand -- where did my search boxes go?

Well... the solution is actually super simple. You just have to click the magnifying glass icon, and you should see the boxes appear by default on any other lists you open.

Hope this saves you some headscratching!
