Hi @freymannj2jt987  
The example project shared on this community post includes a search bar that is connected to list: [Interactive list (DVL, clone blocks & SpaceX API) - Free Templates, Designs, and Block Combinations - Community](https://community.thunkable.com/t/interactive-list-dvl-clone-blocks-spacex-api/3159826/1)
