    Instead of textinput, use a Combobox.

    It has the search function.

    I change to combobox and the "Item" config below this pic

     

    "Distinct(Search(Filter(APP1,StartsWith(user_email,ComboBox3.SearchText)),ComboBox3.SearchText,"user_email"),user_email).Result"

    I made a test with;
    Distinct(Filter(APP1,ComboBox3.SearchText in user_email),user_email)

     

    If you face Delegation issue, create a collection,
    ClearCollect (MyUsers,APP1)

     

    Then change it to;
    Distinct(Filter(MyUsers,ComboBox3.SearchText in user_email),user_email)

    Thank you for your replay ...... YES ,it works .

     

    But I modify your script a little

     

    ClearCollect (MyUsers,Distinct(APP1,user_email)) -->Because I want to reduce the data amount in my collection .

     

    Then in the combobox "item" , my script is -->Filter(MyUsers,General_affairs_query_user_name.SearchText in Result)

     

    After this , it can show what I want ~~~~~
