Like we have with other options and most recently with the Queries where we can choose to have or not the auto-refresh it should be added a Preference for the search.
With the introduction of Outsystems 11 we can now disable some elements and because of that the Search should be improved as well in order that we can choose whether the search applies or not to disabled Elements.
Quick example
I have query 1 and query 2 both with 999 set as Max. Records
Searching for 999 i just wanted to find 1 occurrence (non-disabled elements).
