Ahem 🙂 Need I say more? Really needed. ---

This is [already available](https://www.glideapps.com/docs/essentials/data-sources/getting-started-with-the-glide-api/using-glide-tables-api#filtered-queries-with-big-tables) for Big Tables. From what I’ve been told, it’s pretty unlikely that it will be made available for regular tables. At least not any time soon. ---

Any reason? Seems like a glaring feature gap… ---

The way it’s been explained to me, the architecture of the original native tables doesn’t allow it without significant re-engineering effort. And that’s essentially what Big Tables are. ---

Interesting. So, effectively, the only way to replicate the search function would be to get all rows and then work with the array? ---

Yes, I’m afraid so. ---

Gotcha. Since I have you here, would you know any magic way on how/where to get Glide tables column IDs if you don’t have access to Glide API but have access to Make? ---

If you do a single Get Row/Get Rows call using the Make integration, you’ll see the native column names in the output bundle. ---

Hey @NoCodeAndy - is this dead on arrival? If so, I’ll delete the request. ---

> [@Evgeny1](#): > > is this dead on arrival? If so, I’ll delete the request. I think @Darren_Murphy nailed it re: Big Tables paving the way for this. Future state, I think, is Glide Tables and Big Tables coming together. I don’t have a timeline or anything on that, but you’ll see it in the work we’ve done on bringing GBT to feature parity. We’ll keep this thread open for posterity though. 👍
