Dear All, hope everybody is safe.

Please not that I am not a coder, but an avid learner. I am adding some search functionalities to my website. I used the CORVID tutorial to add the search function connected to a database with user input and displaying the results in a table. That worked great, amazing tutorial.

Now I want to step it up and instead of having a table I would like to have a repeater that display the results with all the additional info gathered from the database. I tried by myself adapting some code of other posts but the search doesn’t happen. Any help or redirection to pertinent posts would be amazing!!

Database: Reviews  
Repeater: repeater1  
Input box: input1  
search button: button1  
field key for search: title1

The first option that I used was:

* * *

import wixData from “wix-data”;

let repeater\_results = ‘’;

export function button1\_click(event) {  
//Add your code for this event here:  
wixData.query(“Reviews”)  
// Query the collection for any items whose “Name” field contains  
// the value the user entered in the input element  
.contains(“title1”, $w(“#input1”).value)  
.find() // Run the query  
.then(results =\> {  
let firstItem = results.items[0]  
repeater\_results = firstItem.\_id;

```
			wixData.query('Reviews') 
				.contains("title1", $w("#input1").value) 
				.find() 
				.then(results => {$w("#repeater1").data = results.items } 

```

* * *

The second option that I used was:

* * *

import wixData **from** “wix-data” ;

export function button1\_click(event) {  
//Add your code for this event here:  
wixData.query( “Reviews” )  
.contains( “title1” , $w( “#input1” ).value)  
.find() // Run the query  
.then(res =\> {  
// Set the table data to be the results of the query  
$w( “#repeater1” ).data = res.items;  
$w( “#repeater1” ).expand();  
})

* * *

Thank you so much for your help!  
Marco
