Hi, I was wondering, is there an easier way to search through rows in SQL Server? I made a query and tried the command:

SELECT * FROM Table
WHERE FolderName like '%example%'

which helped me search through my table just fine. However, for example, you can simply do control + f on Microsoft Excel and find the name of something much more easily and quicker than typing in SELECT * FROM TABLE...

Is there a way to enable control + f to search for things in an SQL table? Or is there an easier way to search for items in a table?

Thanks
