Are you creating a glide app or a glide page?

I know for sure that glide apps have a search in the choice component?

i am just touching the steps on pages.

i hope i am not missing any thing yet.

Yeah, I don’t believe you have the ability to type and search for choice components on Pages. It’s only available for Apps as of now.
