Regex based filtering in ItemTable

[campb303]

• I have searched the issues of this repository and believe that this is not a duplicate.

Problem

Current column based filtering is a limiting solution allowing for one parameter to be filtered per column at a time and also not allowing for negated searches like "not blank".

Proposal

Slack, GitHub and Gmail all use an advanced for of search combining a field and a pressence parameter separated by a colon to do complex searching.

Implementing something similar to this may allow for high flexibility in searching for information in webqueue2 with a proper keyboard. The same interface is difficult on a smaller screen because of the amount of input needed. This feature should be considered for a future release of webqueue2.

Examples

This should be revisited as a part of #164

A Regex-based filter should be possible in the future due to react-table allowing custom filtering functions. Due to time constraints, this will not be implemented by the current webqueue2 team. Closing.

Re-opening this issue for use by future developers.

This will not be completed by the current team.
