I think that one can relatively easy combine two solutions which I suggested before. The resulting demo allows to make global search (search in any searchable column) for multi-word text (multiple values divided by space separator):
or
The full code which I used in the demo is below:

UPDATED: To allow to use quoted strings with spaces in the global searching string you can use match instead of split. The modified demo allows to use the following
