Summary: Applying a change in Configuration for a table-based view pops 2 error dialogs for each selected column checkbox.

My tests were on Windows 10 with 6.0.1 version. And it needs to be tested on other OSes.

Before starting Gramps, rename your `gramps/gramps60` folder (and for any other Gramps version you have in your [Gramps User Directory](https://www.gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php/Gramps_Glossary#user_directory)). You want to start with a clean slate to avoid any old `gramps.ini` imports, view `.ini` files, or other carryover from a previous version.

Start Gramps 6.0.1  
create a new tree and load it  
Switch to the Notes category (all categories with a configurable view are affected)  
_&nbsp; notice the columns that are visible._  
View Configure  
_&nbsp; count the columns that are selected_  
Select another column  
Click the Apply button  
_ **&nbsp; 2 error dialogs are generated for each checkbox that was originally selected:** _

```python
14176872: ERROR: grampsapp.py: line 188: Unhandled exception
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Program Files\GrampsAIO64-6.0.1\gramps\gui\filters\_searchbar.py", line 139, in search_changed
    type = self.search_model.get_value(node, 3)
           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
TypeError: Argument 1 does not allow None as a value

```

(Testing against 6.0.0 would be good too. The Apply error dialogs do _ **not** _ exhibit in 6.0.0 on Windows.)

_Don’t forget to restore your old [Gramps User Directory](https://www.gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php/Gramps_Glossary#user_directory) folders_
