1. Understanding the Feature:
Microsoft has recently introduced a feature(through extension) known as Data search.
The overall flow of Data Search is that you can do a Tell Me Search > Data Search > Input your Search String and you will get where the Data is present.
You can navigate to a specific record by clicking on the result.
You can also make the job easier by selecting which tables you want this search job to look for the string.

In Actions, you can see all the tables you want to include in Data Search.
2. Exploring the code:
The Data Search page will have the ability to search into the selected tables.
Hence, to process the search and keep the page interactive, there is a Page > Background Task > Table Search field by field and record by record.

Thank you for explaining this. I have noticed that if a security filter is applied to the Purchase Header table, then the search in company data does not display the Purchase Order even if it is not restricted by the security filter. The user was able to access the Purchase Header table but the search in company data completely bypassed it.
