            Bug ID: 89908
           Summary: Include Search field in the autofilter options
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Calc
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org

This is in some way related to Bug ID 47412 (which appears a solved but is
not): 

When applying auto-filter to a column there is no search field that
automatically narrows down the search (feature included in Excel since Office
2010).

Example: Let's assume in an inconsistently named list a have to search for the
model "Golf". The possible results might be:

VW Golf GTI
Volkswagen Golf 1.9 TDI
Golf GTI
Vlkswagen Golf Diesel

A week later I find out that I missed "V-Wagen Golf GTI"

Imagine this list is hundreds of rows long, consisting in different car brands
and models. I'd have to search the whole list for any individual entry that
potentially includes the word "Golf" with the result of wasting an enormous
amount of time and the risk of missing one of them.
It might look like a small enhacement but for people dealing with larger list
needing to easily filter for a given content it is an absolute stopper for
using/switching from Excel to Calc. 

Anyway, thanks for your time and effort and keep up with the good work.
