Answer 1

You have to override the filterPredicate of your dataSource.

You want to specify what properties in your data the filter is applied to :-

this.dataSource.filterPredicate = function(data, filter: string): boolean {
    return data.name.toLowerCase().includes(data.symbol.toLowerCase().includes(filter) || data.position.toString().includes(filter);
};
