Can Search Box double up as Button?

Hi, I was looking at putting in a new feature in my dashboards. The idea is to collate all chart ids in my dashboard (all custom names) into a table and use the Search box to help quickly find the table I need. Currently I need to use a Button to show/hide the table searched for. I was wondering if it will be possible to have the table restored/maximized/shown immediately after pressing Enter key after search.

Let's say I have two tables:

comics: (objectId - Comics)

[Comics

Calvin And Hobbes

Peanuts

Garfield];

fruits: (objectId - Fruits)

[Fruits

Apple

Mango];

Search_Table: (used in Search box)

[search

Comics

Fruits];

I need the search box to also open the table when I search the ObjectId. I don't want to use a Button/TextBox action. Is it possible?

I'm not sure if you have already used an Input box.

You can store the objects IDs in a variable.

Use that variable in an input box.

Go to the layout of the Object and use conditional show: e.g. Variable1 = 'Furits' //(this is for the object Fruits)

This may look similar to what has been suggested by other members. I've attached the QVW for your reference.

Thanks Sudeep, but conditional show is not what I am looking for. It's rather conditional minimize/maximize. Will there be a performance difference between conditional show and minimizing?
