Magento 2: Is it possible to add search column in ui component?

Question

How can I add filter row in customer grid just like fixed PHP grid using UI component? I don't want to change any other things of UI component grid.

Answer 1

This is not possible to add a filter like a block grid in the UI grid. Ui Component has its own filters. You can enable that by adding <filters name="listing_filters"/> in the <listingToolbar> Ui grid.

<listingToolbar name="listing_top">
         ....
      <filters name="listing_filters"/>
         ------
</listingToolbar>

Answer 2

Add below code in view/adminhtml/ui_component/yourxmlfile

Add this code below closing of </datasource>

Then run cache flush, and upgrade commands

<listingToolbar name="listing_top">
        <argument name="data" xsi:type="array">
            <item name="config" xsi:type="array">
                <item name="sticky" xsi:type="boolean">true</item>
            </item>
        </argument>
        <bookmark name="bookmarks"/>
        <columnsControls name="columns_controls"/>
        <exportButton name="export_button"/>
        <filters name="listing_filters" />
        <filterSearch name="fulltext"/>            
        <paging name="listing_paging"/>
    </listingToolbar>

Answer 3

You can try below code, it's not tested though

<filters name="listing_filters">
            <argument name="data" xsi:type="array">
                <item name="config" xsi:type="array">
                    <item name="displayArea" xsi:type="string">dataGridFilters</item>
                    <item name="dataScope" xsi:type="string">filters</item>
                    <item name="storageConfig" xsi:type="array">
                        <item name="provider" xsi:type="string">test_lists_listing.test_lists_listing.listing_top.bookmarks</item>
                        <item name="namespace" xsi:type="string">current.filters</item>
                    </item>
