Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. My Nextcloud Instance is running on a Raspberry pi and searching (Ctrl+F) for Cards takes very long (Note: I have 248 Cards). My guess is that this is because all Cards are loaded again from the server (I don't know what else could be the reason for it). Sometimes this even leads to the Browser telling that a page is slowing it down and me having to type the search character for character for it to even work (Timeout?)

Describe the solution you'd like I think it would be best for the search to be completely on the client side, since all Cards have to get loaded at least once anyways. To make #286 easier it would probably best to save all Cards in JavaScript to search them.

Describe alternatives you've considered

• Alternatively searching through the DOM could be easier to implement than storing it in JavaScript (e.g. set "display: None" if condition is not met. This could however reduce the performance for more advanced searches (or increase the Effort to add them) like in #286 but would probably still be faster than requesting all Cards from the server again.
• Improving the client code that processes the Server response (as mentioned in "Additional context") could improve the Performance but wouldn't work if the Server is the bottleneck (unless the next packet stops the previous one from processing which would probably more effort than having a Client-Side only search).

Additional context

• A search through 248 Cards with a simple Keyword with 5 characters took about 5 Seconds.
• When searching for long Keywords the response time seems linear to the amount of Characters (10 Characters took over 10sec). This is probably because for each change in the input field a request is sent to the server, the server has to process it and perhaps the client processes all responses one after the other instead of knowing that only the last one has to get processed.

Edit: Having the "Toggle compact mode" functionality on the Client-Side could be nice, too (having to wait for a second)
