Power Apps Search Filter Issue

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 4

On this app, when I search for '3 R', the item [3 Rings] is displayed.

 

When I search for 'Rings', it does not find or display [3 Rings].

 

How can I edit the search box to filter any letters or words so I can see 3 Rings by only typing 'Rings'?

Format below:
 
SortByColumns(
    Filter(
        [@'Appendix D - Product and Service Approved & Prohibited List'],
        StartsWith(
            Title,
            TextSearchBox1.Text
        )
    ),
    "Title",
    If(
        SortDescending1,
        SortOrder.Descending,
        SortOrder.Ascending
    )
)

    Hi,

    Please try the below FX formula to search based on the text input.

    SortByColumns(
        Filter(
            [@'Appendix D - Product and Service Approved & Prohibited List'],
            Search(@Datasource, TextSearchBox1.Text,Title)
        ),
        "Title",
        If(
            SortDescending1,
            SortOrder.Descending,
            SortOrder.Ascending
        )
    )

    Note: Replace the @Datasource with your entity
     
     
    Hope this helps.
     
    Thanks!

    A Filter action with "in" won't return all results due to delegation. You can increase the delegation limit in Power Apps to handle more rows, but it won't solve the issue for datasets larger than 2,000 rows.

    Unfortunately, I am now getting unexpected behaviour - the '3 Rings' record has disappeared along with other records when searching:
