    Search is not supportfir sharepoint, 

    Use startwith instead of search. 

    Or filter(addcolumn (source, "temp", len(description)-len(substitute (description, textip,"")),temp>0)

    @bbsin ,

    This is Delegable

    Search(
     Filter(
     list, 
     (
     IsBlank(combo box.Selected.Value) || 
     Category = combobox.Selected.Value
     ) &&
     StartsWith(Description,searchbox.Text)
     )
    )

    Temp is a temporary column added for filtering.

    @Jagadeeshk ,

    The output of AddColumns is subject to Delegation limits - it is one of the "hidden" Delegation items in Power Apps - Microsoft doc is here - relevant parts below

    You also seem to be simply comparing the length of the fields - not sure why.

    @bbsin ,

    You simply cannot use the Search (or in) Filter directly on a list of more than your Delegation limit. Depending on the size of your list, there are some possible workarounds. How big is it?
