Option 2: Search in Server Panel

Make the Server Panel visible by clicking Window -> Show/Hide Server Panel (Fig. 3 [2]) or by clicking on Servers tab (Fig. 3 [1]).

Now, to search for the tables, you must expand only [your database/schema name] -> Tables branches.
When you type text in the Server Panel, Aqua will look for table name starting with provided text. If there are more than one table with the provided prefix, you can navigate to the next found result with arrow keys.
Note that Aqua will search for provided string in all visible elements.
