Hi! I want the Search Results of a list to display when three or more characters are entered in the search bar. How would I do this?

Ah, so only when it’s 3 characters or more will the search result show? I think you can follow the steps below: 1/Add a text entry writing to a user-specific column to serve as your search field. 2/Add a plugin to calculate the length of that term. 3/Add an If Then Else column, if length > 2 then returns the search term, else leave it empty. 4/In your table that you want to search, create a single value column and cast that ITE column above to all rows. 5/Add a final If Then Else column. If single value is empty then true (we don’t “filter” by the term at that point), else if single value is included in let’s say the name column then true, do that for all columns that you want users to search.

[image] Search not working properly on Detail View Ask for Help Hi! I have a tab as a list. In this list, there are customers. I only want to show one customer. You have to search for a customer to see it pop up in the list. This works fine when the tab is a list. However, when I do the same when the Detail view, the search doesn’t work. A detail tab with an inline list limits the number of results to one. I search for a customer, but it doesn’t pop up. However, sometimes it randomly does work. Is this a bug? How can I fix this? Is this the same issue?

No, this is separate from that :slight_smile:

How is it working your side? When you enter 3 or more characters then the search does not work?

No, the opposite: we want the search results to start showing when a minimum of 3 characters are entered in the searchbar

Wow, thanks! Question about the second step: what do you mean by the plugin? Do you mean something like Zapier or something else?

It’s working perfectly, thank you very much!!! :smiley:

Do you know any possibility to disable enters/returns?

I think that is only possible with JS/JQuery but I haven’t seen that being implemented in Glide. What is your use case?

In the text entry that I now use as a search bar, you can enter a digit or email address to search for a user. However, when you press enter, it starts a new line. It would be nice if I’m able to prevent that from happening.
