# Full text search

> Learn how to add a full-text search feature in your PandaSuite project that scans all static texts and redirects users to their corresponding locations. This guide covers input field creation, result display, and linking essentials.

**Add a search that scans all the texts in your project (static texts). When clicking on the results, the user is redirected to the correct location.**

[Image: Medical app: typing “fever” in the search field lists Common Cold, Ear Infections and Gastroenteritis] This is a special case of using the **Search** component. We strongly
recommend consulting [the dedicated
article](https://docs.pandasuite.com/essentials/components/search/) before reading this one.

## Create the input field

Insert the **Search** component.

In the **Properties**, for the **Source**, choose **From project > All texts.**

Double-click the component to enter inside and view the raw data. Click on the fields where the search will be performed, for example, the title.

## Displaying the results

Now, let's prepare the display of the list of results.

Insert a **Collection** component.

In the **Properties** of the component, fill in the **Source**: choose **From a component** > **Search** and **Search Results**.

[Image: Source of the Collection List: the Data window points to Search30645 > Search results, an array of 33 items]

Inside the component, insert a result template that will be used to display the search results. This template will be duplicated from the query results.

Select the text block that represents an example result. From **Content**, open the data window, choose your Search component and its **Search results**, then add the **By Id** function and finish with the field you wish to display (here `screenName`). The **Uniq By** function in the example keeps one result per screen.

In **By Id**, set the **Identifier** to **Current item**: each copy of the template then displays its own result.

Use the Sort by (ascending order/descending order) and Filter by (a condition) options to customize the display of the collection.

## Create a link to the screen

To create the link to the screen, select the result template and add an action to **Tap/Click**

**Change Screen** > **Go to Screen**

At the **Screen** level, add a data binding to go to the correct screen. Select **Current Item** and choose the **Screen** field. The same Screen value exposes `name` and `index` if you also want to display where each result comes from.
