Hi @Enh ,
I'm going to assume by multi-select lookup you're talking about a combo box - if so, your filter expression goes into the Items: property of the combobox control in the format;
Filter(source, condition)
Where source is the data source and condition is what you're testing each row against to see if it's included in the result. eg:
Filter(myDataSource, userFirstName = "Bob")
Note: The combobox also has a search function built in, but that is on the results of the items fed into it (i.e. after any filter expressions have been completed).
As to the the second part of your question - I'm also assuming that the multi-line of text field in your datasource is what you want to filter on? If that's the case, you need to choose the right condition in your filter command based on your needs - just beware of delegation issues with complex conditions, StartsWith() is usually your friend in these instances.
Hope this helps,
RT
