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 worked or did not work using those blocks and what is your specific question? If you’re just trying to find if a value exists in a list (or column), use the Find First Occurrence block: Lists - Thunkable Docs

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.

I’ve uploaded my copy of Google sheet under the data sources drawer already, but I still don’t see the corresponding blocks that start with the letter in just like the purple blocks in the picture above.

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