Hi C, Is the 'locate'-field in the lower left corner not almost what you need? The so called Locator interface. It is at least possible to go through all fields/values for current layer, using 'f'. So loaded a world layer, you can search for The Netherlands by start to type: "f net" This interface is also relative easy to implement, see my experimental setup for a Geocoder for Nomatim/OSM and a national Geocoder: https://github.com/rduivenvoorde/pdoklocatorplugin So I think(!) that it would be easy to go all layers to search?
