Hello Power Apps Community,

I have a question please.

I am using a Combo Box Data Card on a form. The data source is a SharePoint list, and multiple values can be added in the Combo Box Data Card.

When I use the search functionality within the Combo Box it only searches the records in the SharePoint list from left to right. So what I mean is, if I have three records:
Phones Broken
Big Phones
Little Phones
If I type in "Phones" the only record it would show me is "Phones Broken". I want to be able to see any record that contains Phones when I type in Phones. My wish would be to see all three records because they contain the word Phones somewhere in the value.

Does anyone know how to achieve this please?

Thanks very much,

Garry

Hello @rubin_boer,
You, my friend, are a genius. This would have taken me many frustrating hours to figure it out, if at all.
Thanks so much for your help,
Garry
