What are you searching for? What is the context? How would a user of the form use the search bar?

hi Christopher, it's like a full text search in Notes, have some text fields y need to search for,

given a key word, search for it within the text fields, thanks.

Thank you, but what is the context of the search? Are you allowing the user to search for submitted forms, within the application that contains certain text, across any fields in that form?

We have not provided that capability in Leap. All of our filtering capabilities are based on looking for text in a single field, not multiple fields. I think the only way to implement something like this would be to write a custom extension. But a utility like this would be expensive, especially as the number of records being searched increased.

I know that databases do offer features to search multiple columns for a value, using syntax like "SELECT * FROM testing WHERE 'foo' in (col1, col2, col3, . . . );"

We could review your request as a potential feature and see what we can do.

appPage.F_DataGrid.setFilters(....

but, as you said, if i want to search for a certain text within ONE text field, how to?

Thanks again, Lea
