Hi everyone, 
 
I hope you are doing well !
 
I have a search box as its showed in the picture below, and a table containing Items, where user can do search over those items ! 
 
the problem that search is not dynamic ! I have to move out the mouse from the box to get the result of the filter !
 
In the table items here is my formula : 
Filter(AppUsers, StartsWith(Title, SearchInput1.Value))

    If its the modern control, there is a property (sorry my brain is fried lol from the conference so far), that will let you change it so that it reflects as the person types, otherwise it only will update once you leave.
     
    Just look I promise you cannot miss it. Its a dropdown.

    Hi,
     
    In Power Apps, search is meant to update instantly while you type. You should not need to click outside the box. If your search only updates after moving the mouse, it usually means one of the control settings is delaying the update. This can happen when:
    • The Text Input is using .Value instead of .Text — the correct formula is: Filter(AppUsers, StartsWith(Title, SearchInput1.Text));
    • DelayOutput is set to true, which makes Power Apps wait until you leave the control — setting it to false enables real-time search;
    • The OnChange property has a formula or the control is inside a form that delays updates — the OnChange property should be empty;
    • With a normal Text Input, DelayOutput turned off, and using .Text, the gallery or table will always update dynamically as you type.
     
    Hope this helps.
     
    Thanks!
