Can we add a search bar?

Anvil Q&A
1

Hi ,

I have made an app in which the client has alot of options in the dropdown and thus has to scroll till he/she can find the desired option.

Is it possible to have a search bar instead of a dropdown ???

the link to my app is : https://simplistic-economics-graph-builder.anvil.app/

Thank You.
Regards,
Aditya Bihani.

Please search the forum for “search” or “search bar”. There are examples using a text box to retrieve from a large set of data.

Any chance you can provide a link to the topic you are referring to? I do not see it when searching for “search bar” or “search”.

This is probably the easiest way, you get a dropdown and a search bar all together.
