**Description**  
Custom Collection won’t search any Computed Column, only the basic ones. This doesn’t happen in normal collections where computed columns are searched.

[Issue](https://youtu.be/N5ehuugHvhM)

**How to replicate**  
Just create a Custom Collection and put a text on it with a computed column data and you will see. I’ve already created a thread with this bug. It escalated but didn’t have any update regarding this matter.

> The reason the search bar was not showing was that there were only computed columns present in the Custom Collection’s display. Once a basic column value was added and displayed in the Custom Collection, the search bar appeared right away. Another issue came from this though — the search bar in Custom Collection does not seem to search any of the computed columns, only the basic ones. This appears to be a limitation of the Custom Collection, but I’ve asked the team to confirm this and will upda…

But there has been no updates regarding it. I think we can keep this thread as technically it’s not the same topic as the original one.

@comm_support_agent can update here once they have any updates.
