Right now, they way it works, is that when you drill into a specific trace you cannot find spans nested under it. I have a huge trace of 100s of spans but I'm looking for specific span by name. There's no way for me to find it. I cannot even use the browser search function because of list view virtualization.

So there needs to be a very basic quick filter feature on this page, so that you can find spans nested under other spans. Ideally it should be possible to search for a trace/span (by name) regardless of how it has been nested. It makes sense to show the trace first but if I search for something, I'd like to be able to find all spans by name or with specific tags. Also, it would be nice to limit the scope to a specific span, so that I can look at a sub tree of a trace.

A large trace that brings together a lot of telemetry is very difficult to navigate. We're talking 700+ spans nested inside one big trace without any capability to search/filter this view.

Here's a screenshot of the view in question with just the top visible
