Option to remove search bar from messages in topic

[vSivarajah93]

Hello! We've deployed a Kafka-UI instance where all topic data is masked.

Despite this, using the search function, I can still locate entries by entering the correct value although it shows as masked.

in the screenshot above i am deliberatly searching for the value: "HmacSHA256" and it gives 4 entries

Is there an option to disable this search functionality? We introduced this UI to allow developers an easy way to verify if messages have been received in a topic. Our Kafka cluster is running behind a private endpoint, making it inherently difficult to access Kafka by default.

Hi, regarding a data mask bug I've raised a new issue #4115, we'll fix that the next week.

Currently it's possible to prevent users from viewing messages altogether with RBAC.
