How to create custom search functionality using a microflow

1
Hello Everyone. I am new to Mendix and want to develop custom search functionality. In which the user will enter the search string and press the button. I have created a helper entity that will store the search string. Can anyone please help to create a microflow that will return all results which match with the search string? I am adding an image for a previously developed microflow. The data is fetched from API and not persistable/stored in database.

Hi Aishwarya,

You can have a look at this blog: https://medium.com/mendix/create-your-own-way-of-filter-by-npe-non-persistant-entity-and-microflow-4ffd11e52fb0

 

This will be a good start for your implementation.

You can use the helper entity with the search string in a database retrieve with the function contains.

For more info, see the documentation: https://docs.mendix.com/refguide/xpath-contains/

 

Let me know if this helps.
