When a topic uses compaction than the latest version of a message is preserved. In order to delete a message, a message with the value null is produced. These messages are called tombstones as they mark a message as dead.

It would be nice to be able to search for these tombstones. The search field could add an additional option null for the drop down box of Value.

Hi, @tchiotludo ! It really looks like a simple change! And I'm interested, thanks for mentioning me!
But really big changes in my life are coming, so I cannot promise anything 🤔 Maybe I will have time in June or July and will try to do that!
