Note

In SAP Fiori elements for OData V4, the search string entered by the user is passed to the back end using the $search parameter in the OData request. The back end interprets this input and returns the relevant results. For more information, see Providing Services | capire.

For more information about how to enable and disable the Search field for analytical tables, see the corresponding section in Setting the Table Type.
