To filter multiple collection lists with a search bar on Webflow mobile, you can follow these steps:

  1. Design your search bar: Start by designing a search bar element on your mobile layout. You can use a text input field or a search input element from the add panel. Customize the design according to your preference.

  2. Add interactions to the search bar: Select the search bar element and navigate to the Interactions panel. Add an interaction that triggers on the "keyup" event. This interaction will capture the user's input as they type.

  3. Create a filter interaction: Inside the interaction, choose the "Filter" action from the "Element Actions" dropdown. Select all the collection list elements that you want to filter.

  4. Set up filter criteria: In the "Filter" action options, define the filter criteria based on the user's input. For example, if you have a collection list of products, you can filter by the product name or any other relevant field. Use the "contains" or "is exactly" operators to match the user's input.

  5. Apply the interaction to each collection list: Repeat the above steps for each collection list that you want to filter. Make sure to select the correct collection list and define the filter criteria specific to the list.

  6. Preview and test: Preview your website in the Webflow Designer, and test the search functionality on mobile devices. Make sure that the filtering is working correctly for all the collection lists.

By following these steps, you can implement a search bar that filters multiple collection lists in Webflow mobile. This provides a user-friendly way for visitors to find specific information within your collections.
