Search textinput for gallery

Posted on by Angel5

Hello everybody! Hopefully you guys can help fix my code here:

If(!IsBlank(TextInput1.Text),Filter(ChecklistList,'Document Title' in TextInput1.Text))

I have this code set to the items property of a gallery, but it only works when I put the exact name of the checklist in the textinput, I want it to start filtering the gallery as your typing what the document is.

Any suggestions? Thanks!!

StartsWith function instead of the In operator. The StartsWith function returns true if a text value begins with a specified text value, and false otherwise. This way, you can filter the gallery by partial matches of the document title. For example, you can try this code:
If( !IsBlank(TextInput1.Text), Filter( ChecklistList, StartsWith('Document Title', TextInput1.Text) ) )
This code will filter the ChecklistList by the text entered in TextInput1, and show only the items that have a document title that starts with that text. If TextInput1 is blank, it will show all the items in the ChecklistList.

If you have any questions or feedback, please let me know. Have a great day! 😊

I have tried this is the past, but no luck:
This is an example so you can see that even though it is simple enough, for some reason it doesn't work. As I start typing in "Check-" nothing appears, even when putting in the whole word. Any thoughts?

Hi @Angel5

I just recreated your use case:
My collection ChecklistList
ClearCollect( ChecklistList, {'Document Title': "Checklist1"}, {'Document Title': "Checkalist2"}, {'Document Title': "Checklbist3"}, {'Document Title': "Checklicst4"}, {'Document Title': "Checklist5"} )
My Gallery.Items:
If( !IsBlank(TextInput2.Text), Filter( ChecklistList, StartsWith('Document Title', TextInput2.Text) ), ChecklistList )

Check my gif as a result:
