+Protogrid provides a powerful search functionality in tableviews and selection/dropdown lists. It is useful to find a Card for which characteristic text is known (e.g. a product name mentioned in an advertising text). If you want to comfortably restrict the display of Cards based on certain field values (e.g. categories or status), our [[filter|Filter Fields]] might be the better choice.
