Can you use the Search Box element to provide a list from an API response based on the ALT Tags (Which are dynamically being loaded through API Response)

Ideally I’d like the search box to find the products based on the ALT Tags closest to the keywords being searched in query box. Then deliver a list of these items as a result of the search.

Any insight would be great.

Thanks,

Gabriel

should be able to use it as the api data is treated like any other custom data type in Bubble…have you tried it yet?

I’m not databasing the api response though. Not showing up in search box to sort or utilize.
