Hello @xanwal86u7 Welcome to back to the community  
The blocks you will need are mentioned in the following posts:

> [@Help with displaying airtable data that contains the words filtered with the search engine](https://community.thunkable.com/t/help-with-displaying-airtable-data-that-contains-the-words-filtered-with-the-search-engine/2786316/2):

> Hello @jccarbonerog and welcome to the community tada To build this you will need to connect a Data Viewer List with a local table. Each time that you will open the screen, the old data will be deleted from the local table and the new data will be saved to the local table if the condition is true. You can see the example below.

> Try this. Set the columns to app variables when the screen starts then find your value with the list blocks as shown. Let me know if that speeds it up.
