(POWERAPPS FOR TEAMS)

Hi guys,

 

I created a gallery that displays information about items. There are alot of records so I implement a search bar that uses StartsWith to search through 3 separate records. The issue is when I click onto the screen that has the gallery the items do not appear immediately, instead I have to use the search bar to search for a record. The strange thing is that when I remove the text from the search bar all of the items in the gallery appear.   Attached is the code on my items property in the gallery.

 

Any help would be appreciated, thank you!

    Hi @Shea1 ,

     

    I guess this is due to the difference between blank() and blank string.

    The easiest method is to set the default property of your textinput control to:

    ""
