Currently there is 1 setting to activate both filter and search. Since this is activated by default you get a validation message on each table that does not have search columns. When we have a seperate setting for search then this setting can be deactivated by default. And if you select a column to be searchable the checkbox will be automatically set (much like how it works with layout, default and context). As a side effect this will also reduce the amount of validation messages.
The missing search checkbox makes it also more confusing then it should be, since there is a find checkbox, but that’s windows gui only. So to deactivate search you would have to deactivate filter which also deactivates filter. To me this makes no sense. I understand both do pretty much the same but I can imagine in some cases you want to be able to filter but not search. Just for the sake of user friendliness adding a seperate search setting and perhaps adding (windows gui only) to find will make this so much easier for new and less experienced users.
