Is there a way to use single Search Bar with multiple Collections?

I have few Collections pointing to the same Table with different filters.

I want to have a single Search Bar at the top.  
When I type search criteria I want both Collections to respond to the search.  
For example, if I type Sun, I want only top item to appear in Rented section at the top. When I type condo, I want the bottom item to appear in the Rented section.

> You could create you own custom search to do this. Something like this: Create a User Specific column to hold the search text. This should be in the table that your Home Screen is attached to. (Normally I’d say put that column in your User Profiles table, but I think your App doesn’t require sign in, yes?) In each of the tables that you want to search, add the following columns: – A single value column, that fetches the search term from the Home Screen table – Now, lets assume you have a Na…
