A search app that will display all data initially and then narrows down after you search for something

In reference to the tutorial on developing a search app using backend services, how would you for example display ALL the phones off the bat, and then when you search for apple - only the apple phones will show? What would have to change in the JS in "before success"?

Thanks so much in advance! Looking forward to responses

Hi Matthew,

You should change value that you are looking for, for certain column.

I'm not sure if I understand Ihor? Do I go to the events tab and change the event on button from "click" to "value change" and invoke the same service? I tried that but to no avail.

If you are using the List component to display the results initially. then it's easier cos the List component has a Data Filter property. if you enable it, it will show you a filter / search box which will filter / narrow down the results as you type.
