Search Feature Within A Data Table

Much has been written about Airtable search over the years. I asked Airtable in 2018 -

Should I spend a lot of time developing an aftermarket search system that would solve all aspects of the poorly designed Airtable search features?

They said - no, you’d be wasting your time because we will release something soon that will be mind-blowing. Fast forward a half-decade, and nothing. Now it’s too late - no one should implement search the way I described in my white paper from the previous decade.

The next (right) way is through LLMs, specifically embeddings and natural language, just as Microsoft, Google, and OpenAI have decided to advance the science of findability. This post might help you understand what I mean.
