Description
Following on the back of #799 and #800, I'd like to also propose the addition of table text searching.
Data tables on the web are time and again implemented with sorting, searching and column hiding. There's a huge amount of effort required to implement a performant and accessible table with all these features.
In my mind, the key success criteria for such a feature would include:
- Ability to specify which columns are searchable
- Searches must be performant with large datasets of at least 10K rows
In addition, user input throttling could also be considered, in order to reduce fast visual page shifts as users type.

Start by reading the related issues #799 and #800 to understand the surrounding table proposals. Define the feature's scope and interaction model, including selectable searchable columns and performance for at least 10K rows; throttling is optional for consideration. No implementation files or tests are identified in this issue.
