Hello all, total newb here. I am also having a problem with using a text source from an onscreen element with the Search & Autocorrect plugin (e.g. directly from a CS list in a multiline input element or from a RG list populated with items from the multiline input list). Like the OP and others, I can get the search to work fine with information from a database. I can also get a normal, unfiltered, search to produce results using either an RG or ML input, but when I use either of those sources as the data source for the Search & Autocorrect plugin, I get an empty result when I try and run a search. As suggested above, I’ve tried saving my RG list to a custom state and using that as the data source for the plugin, but that also does not work.

Will see if I can upload some screen shots.

My ultimate goal is to be able to search an inventory list kept as a list in some sort of on-screen text element so as to minimize WU. It seems that using the embedded searchbox in bubble to search my database uses up a substantial load of WU just to do the search since I have tens of thousands of items with common name elements (i.e. using the bubble searchbox to search the database returns hundreds of results, even when searching with full words. I need people to be able to search the whole database without a variety of subset filters and, as best as I can tell, people potentially doing hundreds of searches a day is going to kill me on WU, so I want to search off of a simple on-screen text list before diving into the DB to retrieve a selected item.
