I have a text field that i want to use as a search bar to search a card list with a persons name. How do i go about doing this? I’ve tried everything i can think of and i can’t make it work.

Hi @jaydenf1995,

Welcome to the community 🥳

You can add a filter in the card list that show when the property in the collection contains the input.

Check this docs out! : [How to Create a Search Bar - Adalo Resources](https://help.adalo.com/how-to/how-to-create-a-search-bar)

Thank you
