Search and filter paginated boards with the API

Hi!
Within our app, we have a searchable board selector that lists all boards of type "board". Right now, we have to retrieve all boards with their id, name and type, so that we can filter by type and search by name ourselves using the query’s result.

Especially for big customers with a lot of boards (but also subitem boards, documents and custom objects, since those are included in the boards query as well), this has a big impact on the performance. Not only because all boards need to be retrieved, but also because all those options are listed, which slow down the app.

How we want our app selector to work, is to load the boards of type "board" paginated and load the next page when the end of the selector menu is reached. This should work in combination with search, so that we can search by name while loading the results paginated. We are already doing this with board items; we check the item’s column name using query_params rules, and load the results paginated.

If something similar can be created for boards, so filter by type and name, while still supporting pagination, that’d be most helpful!

Thank you for the request @demi.kesteren !
