GitHub user yangzhang75 created a discussion: Proposal: Let users type to search the dataset/file picker inside a workflow
Body Opening this for feedback before any work. ### Summary In the file picker inside a workflow (the "Select File" dialog on operators like CSV File Scan), you can currently only scroll and click to find a dataset. Let users type to filter it instead. <img width="1289" height="615" alt="Screenshot 2026-07-07 at 3 34 51 PM" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/35e07092-6514-48d7-9d8a-c83cc9410f13"; /> ### Motivation When there are many datasets, scrolling to find the right one is slow. Typing a few letters to narrow it down is much faster. ### Proposed change The dataset and version pickers are already `nz-select` dropdowns. Turn on ng-zorro's built-in `nzShowSearch`, so typing filters the list by name. Optionally, make the file tree (picking the file within a version) searchable too. This is a **frontend-only** change — no backend work, it just filters the list already loaded in the dialog. ### Open questions 1. Should search match only the dataset **name**, or also the **#id** number (e.g. typing `17` finds `#17 iris`)? I'd lean toward matching both. 2. Should the file tree (choosing the file within a version) also be searchable, or just the dataset/version dropdowns for now? 3. Any concerns with client-side filtering when a dataset list gets very large?
