Filter independent search in Gallery

[DustinB]

Hi everyone,

is it possible to build a "global" search for a collection? 

The search should be Filter independent, so if a Filter is selected the Search should find every item in the gallery.

I'm currently using this function for my gallery:

SortByColumns(Search(Filter([...]); Textinput.Text; [outsource column]); "Sortnumber"; Ascending)

Basically:

If( IsBlank(TextInput1.Text = true; SortByColumns(Search(Filter([...]); Textinput.Text; [outsource column]); "Sortnumber"; Ascending); HERER USE THE FUNCTION FROM THE VIDEO WITH STARTSWITH)

Hi @DustinB ,

You need to use the in Filter (which is the same result as Search) and an Or() argument || as below - so it is looking for either your filter or what you are searching for

SortByColumns(
   Filter(
      YourDataSource,
      (YourCurrentFilterHere) ||
      TextInput.Text in YourSearchField
   )
)

Thank you! 

Unfortunately it doesn't work for my case, because the gallery should only display the current Filter and should optional show the Item(s) when the searchbox is filled

I'm trying to realise this with a few if conditions... 🙂
