Question on Power App Search Function.

I have an app with multiple screens. Due to the sheer amount of contents, its important to have a search function from the home page - to find if a topic is available in the app in another screen/s - show the list of screens and be able to click and navigate to that particular screen.

Any ideas how to do that?

hi @ajo070 sure that is possible. The content you are referring to are datsources right. let's say you have two collections, collection1 and collection2. collection one is on the first screen and collection two on the second screen.

when you search on the first screen you can search any collection in the app.

let's create the total entries for a title search in collection one is a variable

Set(_TotalOne, CountRows(Filter(collection1,Title = 'Title1'))) and we can add the same search in collection one to the same search button

Set(_TotalTwo, CountRows(Filter(collection2,Title = 'Title1'))).

You can then inform the user that page one has _TotalOne entries and page two have _TotalTwo entries with Titles containing Title1.

i hope this helps

Hi.. yes , that will work to search , but navigating to the various screens from the search results is what I am looking for. Basically users should be able to search is a topic is available in the app and click on one of the search results which should navigate them to the corresponding screen

hi @ajo070

See if this will help:

Three collections

ClearCollect(col1,{Title:"One"},{Title:"Two"});

ClearCollect(col2,{Title:"One"},{Title:"Three"})

Concat the collections and add a page name to it

ClearCollect(_AllCol, AddColumns(col1,"Page","Page1"), AddColumns(col2,"Page","Page2"))

the OInSelect of the gallery = Navigate(If(ThisItem.Page = "Page1",Page1,Page2) ,ScreenTransition.Cover)

Now when the user click on the gallery the corresponding page will open.

In your case you will have to filter the collection still to get all the results.
