 * I was happy that someone actually did the job to create such a plugin, thank 
   you very much. Yet, this solutions seems to have rather limited use to me.
 * The search will not find entries, that do not start with the search term. For
   example creating a text field with an entry like “Shin Jimin (신지민)” will not
   allow you to search and find it by looking up “Jimin” or the Korean name “신지민”.
   It would be necessary to create 3 separate fields (columns) to have this functionality.
   Same is true for a field “Occupations” with entries like “Singer, Actress, Model”.
   Searching for “Model” or “Actress” will not return that entry.
 * You can’t add a field into an existing form, you have to create a new form then.
 * Editing fields and rows in the backend (Entries) is not comfortable or fast. 
   If you have a large table of entries you will encounter problems loading and 
   editing it in a browser. That’s the main reason why you should have a form that
   is able to lookup and edit an entry in the frontside and not be forced to work
   in countless rows of entries or an external CSV. The “edit entry” option should
   be available as an option for a form maybe like this: [sds-edit table=”koreanartists”].
   Thus I could create a password protected published page that allows me to search
   the entries (lookup if “Jimin” is already in my DB) and either add a new entry
   or (if entry is found) edit it. The code is altready there, it just sits in the
   backend.
 * Kind regards
