Posted on by PoohBear

I have a collection called "MergedContacts". I then create another collection called "FilteredContacts" which filters the "MergedContacts" collection. I want the ability to search the "FilteredContacts" with a text input. However, when I input the search formula the only field option I get is "Result".

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Hi @PoohBear ,
What is the Collect code you use to get FilteredContacts and what is the Search code you are using to try to find items?

Here are the collect codes

ClearCollect(MergedContacts,ExecutivesImportMergedContacts.Run());
ClearCollect(FilterContacts,Distinct(SortByColumns(Filter(MergedContacts,
ceo_ind="1"&&cntc_sts_cd="ACT"||ceo_ind="3"&&cntc_sts_cd="ACT"||
ceo_ind=" "&&cntc_titl_nm="Vice President & General Manager"||
ceo_ind=" "&&cntc_titl_nm="Chief Strategy Officer"&&cntc_lst_nm="Walker"||
ceo_ind=" "&&cntc_titl_nm="Senior VP & CBUO"||
cntc_titl_nm="President & CEO"&&clb_cd="602"
),"clb_cd",Ascending),tgt_prtcp_id))

Search code
If(IsBlank(SearchInput.Text),FilterContacts,Search(FilterContacts,SearchInput.Text,"Result")) The only field option is "Result".

Hi @PoohBear ,
I have parsed it below for ease of reference
ClearCollect( MergedContacts, ExecutivesImportMergedContacts.Run() ); ClearCollect( FilterContacts, Distinct( SortByColumns( Filter( MergedContacts, ceo_ind="1"&& cntc_sts_cd="ACT"|| ceo_ind="3"&&cntc_sts_cd="ACT"|| ceo_ind=" "&& cntc_titl_nm="Vice President & General Manager"|| ceo_ind=" "&& cntc_titl_nm="Chief Strategy Officer"&& cntc_lst_nm="Walker"|| ceo_ind=" "&& cntc_titl_nm="Senior VP & CBUO"|| cntc_titl_nm="President & CEO"&&clb_cd="602" ), "clb_cd", Ascending ), tgt_prtcp_id ) )
If( IsBlank(SearchInput.Text), FilterContacts, Search( FilterContacts, SearchInput.Text,"Result" ) )
The reason is simple - you have wrapped the entire collection in a Distinct filter - the only output this will produce is Result.
Get rid of it and see what the search (which is quite valid) then produces.

Your code is not working but I appreciate you pointing out that "Distinct" is causing the issue. Now that I understand the cause I can work around it.

Hi @PoohBear ,
It is not my code - it is yours - I simply parsed it so I could see the structure better (I did not change anything).
The other thing you need to look at is the mixture and And() && and Or() || - you will need some brackets in the right places or you will not get the results you need.
