    There is no need to reinvent the wheel!  Canvas apps already have a search feature that can be accessed from the column on the left side of the screen._1.jpg

    To my awareness it's not possible because the names of Labels are not available at runtime.

    You can do it in the Editor though, in the Tree view on the left,using the Search box that is already built-in there:

     

    1. On the left side, click the icon that looks like a pile of maps

    2. Click on the Search box and type in the name of the label or a part of it, and what's below should be filtered to match it.

    Hello. thanks for your return ! 
    I wanted to do this in production mode. Not in edit mode, because my users will not have access to edit mode. 
    That's maybe not possible.

    I have found a solution.

    By using Gallery, and  made a search in the gallery. I haven't found how search with label_name. 

    But it's ok.

    Thanks you
