appsmith: [Bug] Table search not working with onSearchTextChanged

Description

For the table widget, if the onSearchTextChanged action is defined the actual search functionality is not working anymore. The onSearchTextChanged action itself is executed, but the search (filter) on the table is not applied.

Steps to reproduce the behaviour:

Create a table widget with some data.
Set onSearchTextChanged to some action (e.g. save the search value in the store or show a message)
Enter a search term. The search filter is not applied, but the action is executed.
Remove the onSearchTextChanged action.
Enter a search term. The search filter is now applied.

Hi @Nikhil-Nandagopal sure, the issue is exactly like @WillemJann described earlier in this issue. In this image there is an action onSearchTextChanged specified and I’m searching for the text “Drop” which does not filter the results.

When no onSearchTextChanged handler is specified the table is filtered

What I want to happen, similar to @WillemJann is that client-side search is still done and the onSearchTextChanged handler can work, such that the search text can be remembered when the user e.g. reloads the page. I don’t want to do any server-side search in this case. I know you consider this behavior a feature as implemented in #4039 but this behavior was actually very helpful - I guess as long as one is not doing server side filtering.

@Nikhil-Nandagopal going by the first logic and ignoring that we allowed such a use case should work fine. Shall we implement this, It not a lot of effort and can be picked up soon
