✨ Feature Request

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When working with boards that contain many cards, users need to scroll through the entire list to find specific cards. This can be time-consuming and inefficient, especially when dealing with large projects with dozens or hundreds of cards.

Describe the solution you'd like
Implement a search functionality on the board lists that allows users to quickly filter and retrieve cards by title, description, or other relevant attributes. The search should provide real-time results as the user types, helping them locate cards instantly without manual scrolling.

Describe alternatives you've considered

  • Manual scrolling through the board (current experience)
  • Sorting/filtering by other criteria (labels, assignees, etc.) - but this doesn't address finding specific cards by content
  • Keyboard shortcuts or advanced filtering - could complement but not replace basic search

Additional context
This feature would significantly improve the user experience when managing large boards and improve productivity by reducing the time spent searching for specific cards.

Implementation ideas (optional)

  • Add a search input field at the top of the board list view
  • Implement client-side filtering for immediate results
  • Consider search across card titles, descriptions, and possibly tags
  • Ensure search is case-insensitive and supports partial matching
  • Maintain search state when navigating or filtering by other criteria
