I have a record type that's based on a data type which has a nested CDT as one of its fields, and I'd like to allow users to search this record list based on a field of the nested CDT. For example, let's say that my entity-backed record type is based on a CDT called Car, and one of the fields of the Car CDT is "owner", which is of the type Person. The CDT Person has a text field called "name".
How can I configure the list view item for the Car record type so that the user is able to use the search box to search based on the field rf!owner.name? Is this even possible?

We have used Views to back our Entity-based records, that way all the logic can be handled on the DB end, and the CDT can be fairly clean. This is also much better for performance, and we've created a column in the view that concatenates the various possible search terms (which we've added to the title using the method that Greggl shows above)
