Hi @LYNCHJL ,
In the Fill of your Text control - substitute your word, control name and colour.
If( "YourWord" in YourTextBoxName.Text, YourColour, White )
note this will only show once the filed has been entered.

Use:
If(!IsBlank(Find("abc",Textboxl.Text)),Green,Blue))

Hi @LYNCHJL ，

Based on the needs that you mentioned, I agree with @eka24 and @WarrenBelz 's thought almost. You could take a try with them to achieve your needs.

As an another solution, I think the IsMatch function could achieve your needs. Please consider set the Fill property of the Text Input Box to following:

If( IsMatch(TextInputBox.Text, "Type Specific Word Here", MatchOptions.Contains), // Replace TextInputBox with actual control name in your Edit form Color.Red , // changed bg color RGBA(255, 255, 255, 1) // defualt background color )

Please consider take a try with above solution, then check if the issue is solved.

Best regards,

Hi @LYNCHJL ,
I have tested mine on a model and it works - I have no doubt the others will also (there are many ways of doing the same thing).
Please tag whoever you want any further clarification from.
