Intermittent results from Search function

[bendorge]

Hi there,

In a Powerapp, I've got a search field and a gallery connected to a Common Data Service entity with 7,000+ items. The gallery "Items" property is set to (names changed to protect the innocent): 

Filter('CDSDataSource', SearchText.Text in terms || SearchText.Text in descriptions)

Unfortunately, as the characters are typed in the search field, the gallery results do not always update based on the text entered. See attached image. I've also used the following Search function instead, but I have experienced the same issue:

Search('CDSDataSource', SearchText.Text, "terms", "descriptions")

Note: By deleting a character and retyping in the search box, the gallery updates as expected.

Hi @bendorge,

Set the DelayOutput of your SearchText control to true and see if that helps.  @mr-dang has a good response about this property in this thread.  https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/General-Discussion/DelayOutput-property-of-TextInput-control/m-...

Thank you! That did the trick!

Thanks @Drrickryp,

Also, I would check that the default text in the search text box is "" and not blank (null). There is a difference.
