How to quickly find a specific object in a layer?

Example

We have a layer with wind turbines. Each turbine has its own number. To find the turbine with number 123, simply:

1. Open the Attribute Table of the Wind Turbines layer
2. Activate the Basic Filter and select 123 in the Wind Turbine Number field
3. Press Enter (this will find all turbines whose numbers contain the sequence 123, for example, 1123 as well)
4. Click on the row with number 123
5. Wait for the Information Panel to open
6. Click on the Zoom tool

More advanced searches can be performed using the Advanced Filter.
