1. Log in to the Kuika platform.
2. Open the relevant project from the Apps screen.
3. Go to the UI Design module.
4. Open the Properties panel on the right side.
5. Add a Text Input component to be used for the search operation.

6. Add a Table component to list the data and link it to the relevant data source.
7. From the + ADD ACTION menu, add the Export > Search Table action according to the desired trigger event (Initial Actions, OnClick, OnBlur, etc.).

Parameter Definitions

• Select a Table: Specifies the table to which the search operation will be applied.
• Search Text: Specifies the input field where the user enters the search text.

The user wants to filter the customer list displayed on a screen by ‘Customer Name’. The customer list in the table should be dynamically updated according to each word entered in the search box.

Application Flow:

• Elements:
  
  • Text Input → ID: txtCustomerName
  • Table → ID: table1
  • Button → Label: ‘Search’
• Action:
  
  • The value entered in the txtCustomerName field is used to search the tableCustomerList table.
  • An OnClick trigger is added to the Search button.
• Add Action:
  
  • OnClick → Export → Search Table
  • Parameters:
    
    • Select a Table: table1
    • Search Text

• Real-Time Search: When used with the OnChange trigger, an automatic search can be performed with each keystroke.
• Multi-Field Search: In future versions, simultaneous searches in multiple columns may be supported. In this case, a search parameter can be created from data from multiple Text Input fields (e.g., by combining them).
• Comprehensive Filtering: The Search Table action can be used in a chain with more advanced filtering actions.

Technical Risks and Controls

• Performance Issues: Instant search operations may slow down with very large data sets. Pagination and loading limits should be used.
• Empty Input: When the search field is empty, old filters should be removed or all data should be reloaded.
• Table ID Errors: Incorrect table selection or input ID definitions can cause errors. We recommend using the Symbol Picker.
• Duplicate Results in the Same Data: Fields that are not filtered may appear in the search results. Review the columns on the UI.

The Search Table action enables users to perform fast and flexible searches in tables within the application. Optimised at both the interface and data layer, this action improves user experience, makes large data sets more accessible, and simplifies interactive listing operations.
