Research direction
Start by locating the Visualize Schema view and its canvas/table-node entry point in the extension. Trace how table names are represented and how the canvas currently pans or focuses nodes. Done means a user can search for a table, pan to and highlight it, while the rest of the schema remains visible.

Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When using the "Visualize Schema" feature on a database with 100-150+ tables, manually finding a specific table is inefficient. Because there is no search functionality, users are forced to scroll and visually scan through a massive, cluttered canvas.
Describe the solution you'd like
A simple search input box within the Visualize Schema view. When a user searches for a table by name, the visualizer should automatically pan to and focus/highlight that specific table on the canvas, rather than hiding the rest of the schema.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Currently, I have to fall back to writing raw SQL queries (SELECT * FROM pg_tables WHERE tablename LIKE...) to locate table information, which completely defeats the purpose of having a visualizer tool.
