“Fruit Salad” ≠ “fruit salad”

So you’ll need to convert both the simple list item’s text and the text input to the same case.

And if we just type “fruit”?

These blocks will do this:

“Fruit Salad” = true (found)
“Fruit” = true
“fruit salad” = false (not found)
“fruit” = false

But you have the project so you can test it with different search values.

But actually, that’s not going to work the way you have it set up because the text items block is a list of items, not a single item. You need to loop through the text items (list) and check if each item contains the search text.

Then what to do?

You need to loop through the text items (list) and check if each item contains the search text.

I think there are examples of that on the forums under the keyword “search”.
