Support for quick filter in igx-grid

[Eralmidia]

Description

The old ignite-ui supported a quick filter field in addition to the popup for more advanced filtering. We would very much like to see this feature continued, as this quick filtering is a popular feature among our users.

Result

User must perform one extra click every time he/she wants to apply a filter with the current solution.

Expected result

Possibility to make basic filtering/search within a column without extra clicking.

@Eralmidia Your feature request is already in progress you will get an update on it next week. Will keep you posted! Have a great weekend!:)

@Eralmidia Here you can review the initial spec for the filtering row https://github.com/IgniteUI/igniteui-angular/wiki/Filtering-Row

Looks good 👍 One question though: Will it be possible to define a fixed list of filtering options, meaning that the user can only filter based on a drop down list instead of a input field? The spec mentions custom filtering, but I'm not sure if this includes such a scenario, or just the ability to add to the filtering options list.

@Eralmidia Thanks. Yes it will, next week will be focused on creating the ui assets for the dropdown. We are currently working on a filtering demos roadmap. It will include samples with excel style, custom/advanced, cross-field filters etc.

Perfect. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to this is implemented. Along with #524 and #520 this is probably what we need the most for fully starting to adopt the igx components.

Any chance of seeing this in the current milestone?
