Hello, I am creating an app that contains lots of items “cars” and cars details. but i have a problem, when i type for example “audi” in the search bar, the result appears “abarth”, “bmw” etc… because in the details of Abarth there is the word “auditive”. is there any way i can only have the brand “audi” as result of my search ?
What about using an In-App filter?
yes but then the search bar is no more usefull for me. the In-App filter is not that bad i could even hide the search bar and only keep the filter but it’s a small button and it’s maybe not user-friendly to have it that small
Your other option would be to dispense with the native search and replace it with your own custom search functionality. Then you can control the matching criteria. Personally, I think the In-App filter is a better (and much simpler) option in this case.

Thanks for the suggestion, and how do i do to have my own custom search functionality?
The general approach is that you write the search text to a user specific column, and then use that to match records. The way you match can vary according to the specific use case and often comes down to personal preference. Some people use Single Value plus if-then-else columns. Others use queries and/or relations.
Below is a tutorial that might help.
