Hi, Can a search bar search for computed columns like look up in the table? If not, would there be a good work around? ---

You mean, something like that ? > **[How to search multiple tables (template)](https://go.glideapps.com/template/BvOLJUJKgxx64O7vsCpS-template-published?privateTemplateToken=5eLgbjqeAK08EJt8Upf5)** You can use any columns you want in this search bar. As long as you set these columns in the queries. ---

Would simply including the value of the lookup (assuming it’s a single lookup) in the details screen of the object make it searchable? ---

These look up fields are already existing columns in the new table version. Table is Big table. I remember it worked before. We have disabled an enabled the search bar already without success. ---

It’s possible to get from a computed search bar a response as choice ship mode to pick some content ? ---

It’s like this post at bottom. [@Petitto](https://community.glideapps.com/t/image-as-form-option-choice/6522/6) I lovely be able to help my users in a complex search action, when he types in the searching box open a list of hierarchical choices as chips (or image, text) or pointing to a table to filter with image, text. The automatic filter is reducing the scope but in one complex solution is not enough. Thanks ---

Nope, you can’t do it with the native search bar now. Depends on what you want to do, you might be able to setup some kind of custom search that returns a list of items that you can display in a collection. ---

Did you try the template ? Is this working with your use case ? ---

Great to see others take over the thread… however, @ThinhDinh can you confirm the computed columns should be searchable when: - Using a big table as source - Column is Look up from a single relation column - The Look up column is part of the table columns. Please let me know, so I can take further steps with support. Thanks! ---

I don’t have exact information on that, but granted on how limited Big Tables is when it comes to computed columns, I’d be surprise if it’s searchable. ---

You can enable the more computed columns for big table in the team settings → preview features.
