How to create a search engine that is capable of searching, adding and deleting data from the cloud?

That’s a complicated project. You should research how to make a search engine and after you have an algorithm in mind, ask a specific question about a specific step in the algorithm. It’s helpful if you show your work (e.g. screenshots of blocks, links to a project).

What are you trying to do? What does your database look like, what is your search term, and what results are you expecting? That screenshot has Local_DB blocks which are no longer used. But you can find similar blocks in the Data Sources drawer.

These are the equivalent blocks in the drag & drop interface: [Screenshot 2023-05-03 at 6.38.52 PM]
