My appā€™s URL: [sightwords.glideapp.io](http://sightwords.glideapp.io) I created a [video screencast](https://drive.google.com/file/d/13RAjzBcM263YL4INkjWYZZZ2A5GZ85hb/view?usp=sharing) to show this bug. The search bar is not appearing on some of my tabs with the Tiles option selected. Not sure why itā€™s showing up on one and not others. Tried refreshing page; still nothing. ---

Iā€™m going to venture a guess that itā€™s somehow related to you not having a Title or Description column selected. Shouldnā€™t matter, but something to try. ---

Youā€™re right, helloā€¦ Note: Search bar will not display when only displaying images. Thanks, @Jeff_Hager. ---

Cool. Sounds like a bug though. The search should be searching within each record. @Mark? ---

@spencerb The reason the search bar is not showing is because your items donā€™t have anything to search for. They only have an image in the Tiles view, and in the detail screen thereā€™s only another image. Arguably, since youā€™re using text as the Tiles image, Glide should let you search for that. Is that what you were expecting? ---

I guess so. Iā€™m using Cloudinary to generate the text overlay, but itā€™s really an image. So yes, the sight word name is within the spreadsheet, but Iā€™m manipulating the Cloudinary URL to generate the image. So, I guess I need to include the sight word name so that it can be searched. Thanks, @Mark. ---

Yes, HUUUUGGGGEEEE thanks to @Robert_Petitto for his awesome YouTube tutorial where he shows how he creates an array formula to generate a unique Cloudinary url for the images he wants to display. [Highly suggest subscribing to his YouTube channel](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCO9Yiy4Hi8vBzsJmsjgu-mQ?sub_confirmation=1), which is shockingly low for a guy this knowledgeable and willing to help. Letā€™s boost that subscribers number for him! And if any of you need help learning how to generate a text overlay for your Cloudinary resources, Iā€™d love to help. ---

Thanks, Spencer. Yeah, I donā€™t tag my videos appropriately or have eye-catching thumbnails like other YouTubers who do it for a living. I appreciate the kind words!
