Enable end users to search for an item in an Assembly or Bill of Material

We could really use the ability to allow an end user to search for items in the assembly and see them highlighted in the model and the BOM. Ideally, we could add an input box somewhere on the screen and assign the meta-data fields it should search. It should be able to search multiple fields with a single input and allow standard search operators like wildcard (*).
It would also be nice to have filter tools on the table headers like you have in excel.

Hi @Grant ,

This is an interesting idea, and not one that has been raised before so I have logged it as a enhancement.

Could you tell me how significant / the business impact this has for you?
