CCP 2430 Advanced Field Search

[RyanBirtch-aot]

Description

Users acting in a Reviewer capacity need the ability to search through form submissions not only by basic metadata (submitter, status, confirmation ID, etc.) but also by the values contained inside specific form fields. This functionality did not previously exist, forcing reviewers to manually scan submissions or export data to external tools.

This PR introduces a new Advanced Submission Search feature, providing users with more powerful and granular search capabilities within the Submissions Table.

Frontend Enhancements

• Added AdvancedSubmissionSearch component:
  • Drawer-based UI for entering a search term and selecting specific fields to search within.
  • Emits a structured payload { value, fields } to SubmissionsTable.
  • Supports multi-field selection and removable chips.
• Integrated the advanced search drawer into SubmissionsTable.vue:
  • New Advanced Search button opens the drawer.
  • Updated handleSearch to support both simple and advanced searches.
• Improved column handling:
  • When advanced search specifies fields, the table auto-includes those columns temporarily.
  • Integrated with existing user-selected column preferences.

---

Backend Enhancements

• Expanded processPaginationData to support new advanced search payload:
  • Recognizes { value, fields } when advanced search is used.
  • Searches only within the allowed fields instead of the full submission record.
• Added searchSubmissions helper to encapsulate filtering logic.

@RyanBirtch-aot Build failed for this PR. Can you check?

@RyanBirtch-aot If we have 2 versions for one form, and search for the fields, Result is not showing up.

Also after we do an advance search, submission page reset with column having that searched field in the table

I think we need to show up only the results with the search field only, not all submissions with that field added to the submission view.
