  • "Text is Cards.Name" condition doesn't pick cards. It only checks the name of the first card.

    In order to pick cards, you need to swap it: 

    Cards compare variable Name=lowercase(Search.text) : Cards set visible
Cards compare variable Name≠lowercase(Search.text) : Cards set invisible

    But if the name can contain uppercase and lowercase characters and you want to ignore the case, you'll have to use System Pick condition. 

    System Pick By Evaluate Cards, lowercase(Cards.Name)=lowercase(Search.text) : Cards set visible
System Pick By Evaluate Cards, lowercase(Cards.Name)<>lowercase(Search.text) : Cards set invisible

    How would I make it show up if only part of the word is typed in?

  • This will pick cards which name starts with the typed text:

    System Pick By Evaluate Cards: find(lowercase(Cards.Name), lowercase(Search.text))=0

    If you want to compare any part of the name:

    System Pick By Evaluate Cards: find(lowercase(Cards.Name), lowercase(Search.text))>=0
