I am migrating my app from Legacy. I have a tab with about 8 different collections (filtered for different things). In the legacy tab I was able to search once across all the collections but in the new platform each collection has its own search, this means we need to search 8 times to locate all occurrences of the item we are looking for. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/9/5/95c3e556149dce4bf3361018c160e97f498f9996.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/3/e/3ed4f8b8f29e70b0196f37185fdb371d8c4e10b6.png) Is there a way I can search across all the collections as before ---

Then in every table that you want to search, add the following columns: – A single value column that takes the value of the user specific column in your search table and applies it to all rows – An if-then-else column that returns true for any row that matches. – If you want to match several columns, then you’ll need… ---

mmm… does that mean each search will count as an edit now ? Its a busy interface with lots of searching going on. ---
