How do I use a Combo Box to search through Existing SharePoint List Data

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Microsoft Employee

I currently use a drop down to search for a list item. 
The name of the drop down is TextBoxSearchAppID_1
The item property of my form uses the following
First(Filter('CST Application Portfolio',StartsWith('App Id', SearchQueryMainForm)))

I have an icon where the OnSelect property is set to: Set(SearchQuery,TextboxSearchAppID_1.Text)

Can I use this methodology for a combo box search?

    Filter('CST Application Portfolio',StartsWith('App Id', combobox.searchtext))

     

    it will search even the list is more than 2000

     

    for reference:Filter(Test,StartsWith(Title,ComboBox1.SearchText))

    Hello AJ,
    In a dropdown this works - First(Filter('CST Application Portfolio',StartsWith(AppId,TextboxSearchAppID_1.Text)))
    What I was hoping to do was use the search bar of a combo box.
    I would type in a value "123" and it would filter/search/find all records that start with "123" then I could select the one I want and my datasource would update showing the list values on my screen.
