🎯 Goal

Improve the Sample Search interface to support:

• Person filter (SampleUser)
• Sample Type filter (SampleType.name)
• Valid Date Types only
• Advanced search panel with multiple combined criteria
• Update search box placeholder: “Sample Name”

🧩 Implementation

• Add Advanced Search panel: allow multiple filters input with hide/show feature
• Add Person (distinct list of samples users) filter (need another endpoint in backend to provide the list with some lookup feature) GET /sample_user?session_id=.... backend related issue
• Add Sample Type filter (we have the endpoint in backend that provide the list but need some enhancement)
• Remove invalid date types from filters and sample creation
• Update search box placeholder text
• Ensure compatibility with backend cursor-based pagination (POST /sample/initiate + GET /sample)

---

🧪 Testing

• Filters return correct results
• Advanced search applies multiple criteria correctly
• Placeholder text updated in all search boxes
• Date filters exclude invalid types
