Searching everything from the home screen: tabs, collections or rows of data

You could create you own custom search to do this.

Something like this:

  • Create a User Specific column to hold the search text. This should be in the table that your Home Screen is attached to. (Normally I’d say put that column in your User Profiles table, but I think your App doesn’t require sign in, yes?)
  • In each of the tables that you want to search, add the following columns:
    – A single value column, that fetches the search term from the Home Screen table
    – Now, lets assume you have a Name column in each table, and you want the search to apply to that.
    – Add and if-then-else column:
    — If Name includes search term, then true
  • Now on your Home Scree, add two collections, and make each of your two tables the source of one of the collections
  • Apply a filter to each, where “if-then-else column is checked”

That should do it for you.
The above is just a fairly simple example of what you can do in terms of custom filtering with data editor logic. For a somewhat more advanced example, check the below video:
