If your Choice has more than 10 options, you will now get a search entry: ![2020-03-17 12.29.16](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/a/a25fc06224a1ed1699a94b4ea574402ae2b65a81.gif) ---

love you going through and clearing out all those old requests for the feature! I was so hoping this was coming this week. I was actually in the middle of imputing content from my app, with a form open, when it suddenly refreshed. I was like, “Errrrr”… then I was like, “Choice Search maybe?.. YES!!!” ---

Hi guys, it would be useful to have a preference like this: ☑ Auto-focus on search bar and popup keyboard It would make the research more smooth expecially for very long lists: - on iOS, when the user clicks on the choice element, the cursor would automatically focus on search bar and the keyboard automatically pops-up - on Android, when the user clicks on the choice element and then on the magnifier 🔍, the cursor would automatically focus on search bar and the keyboard automatically pops-up Thank you ---

When will this same functionality be available with Glide Pages? ---

It should be there is you have enough items in your choice list. How many choices do you have? ---

Follow up questions. Is this in an Apps project or a Pages project? Are you using the default choices design style? Similar to that in the first post of this thread? Can you share some screenshots of your choice component configuration, and what the choice component looks like without the search bar? ---

I think I see what’s wrong. It looks like you are trying to write the selected value to a relation. That’s not possible. I think the real bug is that you were able to choose the relation as the destination for the choice. You can only write values to basic columns in the table that is the source of your form. Make sure that the Write To setting is pointing to the correct column in your form table. Then you should be able to select the source table for the choices. I believe the search will then work as expected. ---

Like @Jeff_Hager said, search doesn’t work yet when writing to a relation column, but it will soon. [Next page](https://community.glideapps.com/t/search-in-choice-now-available/5495.md?page=2)
