🔍 Dynamic Filtering in Power Apps: Search a Gallery Using User Input

In this Power Apps tutorial, we dive into the process of dynamically filtering a gallery based on user input. You'll learn how to implement an efficient search functionality using Power Apps formulas and controls. This step-by-step guide shows how to create a real-time search feature, allowing users to filter contacts by name instantly.

We begin by setting up the gallery with a contact list and then show how to modify the items property using the `Search` function to filter based on the text input provided by the user. You'll see how to apply the formula to search through the Name column and even extend it to other columns like Email.
