Description

### What would you like to happen?

Instead of clicking a funnel icon to open the "Insert Condition" window, the field grid would have an integrated search bar at the top of each selection column.

"Type to Go" behavior: When you start typing anywhere on the selection screen, the system automatically focuses on the search and scrolls the list to the nearest field.

Example: When typing "SOL", the list already visually positions itself on the REQUESTER field.

"Inline" filter: The filter should not hide the rest, but rather highlight what you are looking for, allowing you to view the context (the neighboring fields), unless you select a parameter next to it.

Note: It would be interesting to test this in the Select Values ​​transformation. It would be a field similar to what was placed in the metrics.

Research direction

Start by locating the Hop Gui field-selection screen and the Select Values transformation, then compare them with the field UI used in metrics. Clarify the intended keyboard focus, nearest-field positioning, contextual highlighting, and parameter-selection behavior; done means the search works consistently in each named selection UI.
