[Bug]: Loss of Selections After Search

[gbaltazar]

What happened?

Error description: I'm making a multiple selection of items to later perform a Bulk operation with them. I select a first item, then perform a search to select the second one, but the previous selection I had made is cleared.

How to reproduce the bug

I first try searching for the items I want to select, choose one of them, then upon searching to select another, the previous selection is erased. Is it possible to maintain the selection I had made after performing a search in the component?

I can confirm that bug exists also in latest v3 version.

@gbaltazar @ivanmar01 - To be honest, it's more intentional than being a bug.

Having something "selected" via the Bulk Action checkboxes, but not visible seems odd to my mind.

E.g. you select the user "Bob" (who lives in "France") after searching for users "Bo", and filtering on Country of Residence.

Then you change the filter, for users who live in "Japan", and search for "Rich" in the name.
Having "Bob" still selected, despite not being visible (and thus not deselectable) seems like not great UX.

If there's something I'm missing, then we can look at adding in a config option to enable/disable a different behaviour, but would need to know how widespread the desire is for it so that I can prioritise it.

Quick update, I've added in some toggles, but it'll be at least a week (ish) for it to make it into v3, as I need to write tests & docs for it.
