Description

When you try to search on column that contains array items it's not working properly. Is there any way to fix this issue? Example: array = [ 'dog', 'cat', 'parrot'] search field value = 'dog parrot' Result: row is hidden which should not be the case.

Thanks.

Research direction
Examine the search implementation in react bootstrap table2, particularly the filter logic that matches search terms against column values. Focus on how array fields are flattened or compared. Look for relevant code in the src/components/search or src/core/filter directories. Check if there's a converter or custom filter option for array columns.
