No will be able to help if you do not show your code and probably the link to your project to check the list properties.

My apologies, here is the properties and the coding block for the list viewer.

I think actually what you’re seeing is a blank list viewer. I told you what I thought the problem was here:

> [@Stop Working Search Screen](https://community.thunkable.com/t/stop-working-search-screen/1596217):
>
> One minute I had it working perfectly next minute… I can’t get the search results to trigger WHYYYYY??? What am I doing wrong???

In addition, I can see that when the screen opens, you create lists from a data source but you never assign the list variable to your list viewer’s text items.

Please add any new details to that topic instead of starting a new one. You can post these same screenshots there as well.
