Describe the bug and the steps to reproduce it

When the first item in the data array has a column with a null value, the global filter excludes that column completely during search.

Steps to reproduce:

• Open the codesandbox
• Type any city name in the global filter, eg: Hunt
• No rows are matched even though the fourth row has city === 'Huntington'

No, because I do not have time to dig into it

This issue is realted to TanStack. There would be several workarounds.

1. return never null or undefined in accessorFn, it has to be always of type string
2. use column filterFn: 'includesString' to remove nullisch entries
3. Enable explicitly global filtering for the affected rows: getColumnCanGlobalFilter: (column) => return true
   3.1 Keep in mind if you will to that you have to implement your globalFilterFn by your own to handle nullisch values

        filterFns: {
            customContains: (row, id, filterValue) => {
                return row.getValue<TData>(id)?.includes(filterValue) || false;
            }
        },

Taking a quick stab at it, the first option worked.
