Search

You can use the Search UI Pattern to provide users with a search field.

How to use the Search UI Pattern

1. In Service Studio, in the Toolbox, search for Search.

   The Search widget is displayed.

   

   If the UI widget does not display, it may be because you used a ready-made app, which deletes unused widgets from the module. To make additional widgets available in your app:

   a. Go to Module > Manage dependencies.

   b. Search for and select the relevant Producer, for example OutSystemsUI. Ensure Show All is selected.

   c. On the Public elements for the selected Producer displayed on the right, ensure Show All is selected.

   d. Search for and select the element you want to add, and click Apply.

   e. In Service Studio, in the Toolbox, search for the widget again.

2. From the Toolbox, drag the Search widget into the Main Content area of your application's screen.

   

   By default, the Search widget contains Icon, Input, and Actions placeholders.

3. Create a local variable by right-clicking on your screen name and selecting Add Local Variable.

   

4. Enter a name for the variable. In this example, we enter SearchText.

After following these steps and publishing the module, you can test the pattern in your app.
