Does anyone know if a hidden cell on your sheet can be made searchable for the row it is on to pull up search results? My use case is a news section on my app that I am using cards to link to specific weblinked articles. The search functionality will pull up for the date, title, and source columns that I have. But I’m wondering if I could embed the source material of the article itself in a cell and have the glide search functionality pick up on it and return results based on the content of the underlying article. When the user clicks on the card they are still taken to the article on the outside weblink but for the purposes of search within the app they get the benefit of deep search to quickly find content that they are interested in. ---

Basically everything on the tab including the row headers and all columns and rows in one particular tab. Additionally also search bar that searches a word on every sheet and every tab. Thanks.
