Hello Thunkable community!

I am working on my **first project** in Thunkable and need help with **search filters** using **Firebase Realtime Database**.

In my app, I have a **search screen** , where users can choose **location, type of pet, gender, and age**. These choices should work as **filters** in the database. When users click the **Search** button, they go to another screen that shows the filtered results.

📌 **What I have already set up:** ✅ On the **search screen** , users select the filters and click **Search**. ✅ The app moves to the **results screen** , where the filtered data should be displayed.

📌 **What I need to know:** 🔹 How to **store the user’s choices temporarily** to use them for filtering? 🔹 What is the **best JSON structure in Firebase** to save pets and allow efficient searches? 🔹 How can I get the **filtered data** in the second screen to show the results?

Since this is my **first project** , I want to learn the best way to set up this search and filter system in Thunkable. If anyone can share tips, examples, or how to configure the blocks, I would really appreciate it! 🙌🔥
