Hello,

I’ve only encountered this a few times, and I can’t nail down why this is occurring, but sometimes I’ll build out a tab in my app and then the search bar doesn’t show up. Is there a reason that happens or is there an issue with the platform at times?

Do you use a custom layout tab or any other layouts?

Hello! Pardon my ignorance but I’m not certain… perhaps custom? I know that I start from a blank layout screen and add components. When I add my collection (list etc) based on a google sheet, when I go to the option although the search is selected it does not appear.

Can you give us some screenshots on that specific collection that doesn’t show a search bar?
