Any problems in my Thunkable BLOCKS?

It cannot search properly.

I have a guide here on how to make something akin to what you are trying to do.

> Hm, yeah, it doesn’t work well if you search halfway through the word or the second word. The idea was to try to make it lightweight and as simple as possible. If a complete dynamic search, it would probably lean less on filters and fully on loops. Might try that in the future to see what that might look like.

It isn’t perfect since we don’t have regex search, but it gets quite close. I’ll prob make an update in the future since there is a new block that should make it a little easier and more dynamic.
