I have a search functionality in my Glide app. It is working fine on the editor but when I try the same search on the live app link it works differently. The editor shows that the changes have been published but I can not see the changes reflected on the live app. Any help? ---

Can you describe (or show) how the search is implemented? Does your App use Row Owners in any tables? ---

You’re referring to the second (Search) tab, yes? You have quite a few filtering options there, so most likely something isn’t quite right with the way you’ve set that up. I guess the first question I would ask is are all of your filters being written to User Specific Columns? Other than that, in order to help you debug I’d need to know more details about how your filtering is implemented. ---

Okay, thanks. The only thing that looks a little suspicious there is that you appear to have a separate row for each user. That normally isn’t necessary when filtering with User Specific Columns - each user can share the same row. So that might be a clue. If you’d like to save some time, you can send me your team invite link in a private message, and I can take a quick look. ---

Your filter columns are in your User Profiles table, but your App doesn’t require sign in. So the filters will only work if a user is signed in. Although… if those choice components are writing to the User Profiles table, I would expect them to be completely non-functional for non-signed in users. So maybe there is a bit more to it than that. I’d need to look at your App. ---

Hello Darren, I created a new table and put a column for the location there as you mentioned. But when I am not able to access that column in the app and the villas table for the “locationFilter” and “write to”. I am attaching screen shots. ![Screenshot 2022-11-20 153647](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/5/5/55952689803ab1f5919d7c1d73eb7db1b5e5cc44.png) ![Screenshot 2022-11-20 153558](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/3/f/3f608a8470a50294889f55845215a84f32c8dc91.png) ![Screenshot 2022-11-20 153719](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/a/a/aa668585b1c2154f2a80b2711f756b7a2da7275d.png) ---

Yes, you will need to change the source table of your Search Tab so that it uses that new table. I’d recommend building a new Search tab so that you can use the existing one as a reference, then delete it once you have the new one working.
