Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

According to the API documentation, there are basic CRUD operations for various parts of tables, but search is nowhere to be found.

Describe the solution you'd like

It would be really nice to be able to perform a general search just like on in the UI header - as well as column-specific operator search like in the column header context menus.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Research direction

Start with APIv1.yaml and compare the existing UI header search with the column-header context-menu searches. Determine how both general and column-specific operator searches should be exposed through the API. Done means the requested search capabilities are available and documented alongside the existing CRUD operations.
