We know how to filter on an array of objects on specific fields. In some cases we might want to filter on all fields. This code snippet would help.

var records = [
  { id : 1 ,  name : 'abc' , phone : 1234}, 
  { id : 2 ,  name : 'abd' , phone : 3456}, 
  { id : 3 ,  name : 'xyz' , phone : 5678}
];

function findInValues(arr, value) {
  value = String(value).toLowerCase();
  return arr.filter(o =>
    Object.entries(o).some(entry =>
      String(entry[1]).toLowerCase().includes(value)
    )
  );
}

console.log(findInValues(records,  3));
console.log(findInValues(records, 'a'));
console.log(findInValues(records, 'z'));
console.log(findInValues(records, 567));
