ComboBox search does not show items where a text is in front of the search term.

Hey there,

 

I have a very Simple SP-List with Text-Values like:

  • Baseball Regular
  • Senior Baseball
  • Junior Baseball
  • Baseball Training
  • ...

I created a Power App with an ComboBox which selects the Values of the List as Searchfields. Problem is, if I Search "Training" I dont get the "Baseball Training" result. If I search "Baseball" I dont get the Senior & Junior Baseball result, only the "Baseball Regular" and "Baseball Training" Result. 
Is there some Option to include results with text befor an Searchterm?


Many thanks in advance!

    Hi @TomSeestern ,

     

    Do you want to search the values by combobox’s searchtext?

    Then ComboBox1.Items: Filter('20190308comboboxtest'.'Text-Values',ComboBox1.SearchText in 'Text-Values')              ('20190308comboboxtest' is my SP list name, you can change it to yours on your side)

    20190308ComboBox search does not show items where a text is in front of the search term1.gif.jpg

     

    Result test:
