Our users need to search for multiple articles or other options in their work, to change statusses of those, or edit other data combined with the selection, therefor they paste a total selection with multiple search terms seperated by a character.

They want to search / filter like this: 2508*|2517*|etc… - it can also be with a comma to seperate the keywords, or other regex variants.

But now they need to filter for them one by one by one. Which takes a really long time.

Can we add the possibility to search or filter on multiple option by filling in the options in one long query or string?

Example on how Business Central it does:

This is also a standard option in the SAP GUI, where a user can add multiple terms or values from the clipboard in a filterfield. 
This is also part of the topic that I added in the community earlier about multiple selections

Note Our search field from the actionbar already splits whitespace-separated values as different search criteria.

We are investigating how to support this also for In-operator filtering from grid column headers, inline filter form and the filter popup.
