Search/Filter from front-end: External search of Filter by custom query

Hi there,

I have a WeWeb front-end that renders a list of data. Backend paging and sorting a working. Now I want to add two search fields.

Client number: To find record with an exact match on client_number that is searched

Name: to find records that contains the search string.

What is the best approach?

Should I use external filtering, that can be used in the external search property or should I use standard filter using custom query?

External filter

Filter: Custom Query

Thanks for reply
