Show search results in list

I'm not sure if this is possible already and I'm just too stupid to find it. 🙃

I basically want to use the resource search in the popup, but instead of navigating to one of the found resources, I'd like to press Enter and see the results in the list. Currently, when I press Enter, the popup just closes and nothing happens.
So I'd basically like to use the search as a filter, if that makes sense.

Nope. You're very clever. You're using Avo after all 🫣

Search, as powerful as it is, it's still not are great as it can be.
In Avo 4 we plan to Make Search Great Again. Both global and inline.
So global search will have that feature 🙌

I'm going to go ahead and close this but please don't let that stop you from sending your best ideas and feedback forward.

Cool, thanks for the quick reply, great to hear that it's something that is coming in Avo 4! 🤗
(although I personally would avoid the "make something great again" tagline... 😅)

For now, I have simply added search as a filter to all resources like this:

# app/avo/base_resource.rb
class Avo::BaseResource < Avo::Resources::Base
  def self.inherited(subclass)
    if subclass.model_class.respond_to?(:search)
      subclass.search = {
        query: -> {
          subclass
            .model_class
            .search(params[:q])
        }
      }
    end
  end

  def filters
    if model_class.respond_to?(:search)
      filter Avo::Filters::Search
    end
  end
end

# app/avo/filters/search.rb
class Avo::Filters::Search < Avo::Filters::TextFilter
  self.name = "Search"

  def apply(request, query, value)
    query
      .klass
      .search(value)
  end
end

Oh, me either, trust me. I should have made a bigger note that that was a joke 🤦‍♂️

Thats! Awesome!
I love the ingenuity!
