Search Experience in Model-Driven Power Apps

Seamless Access to the Search Bar

The search bar is consistently positioned in the header across all pages in model-driven Power Apps, ensuring users can easily initiate searches without navigating away from their current view. This intuitive placement makes searching a central part of the navigation experience.

Personalised Search with Zero Query

Zero-query search automatically shows personalised results based on recent searches and accessed records. This feature allows users to find information with just one click, eliminating the need to type out queries.

Real-Time Suggestions for Streamlined Navigation

As users type a search query, inline suggestions appear instantly, reducing the time spent entering full search terms. This functionality speeds up the search process and helps users quickly find relevant records, even if they can’t recall the exact term.

Organised and Relevant Results

Search results are displayed in an organised format, grouped by entity type and with key fields visible for easier distinction. As users refine their search, relevant filters are automatically applied, helping them quickly zero in on the information they need.

AI-Powered Search for Better Accuracy

Relevance search uses AI to interpret natural language, spelling errors, synonyms, and abbreviations, ensuring results are both accurate and relevant. This smart functionality helps users find the right records without needing to phrase queries perfectly.

Admin Controls for Custom Search Settings

Administrators can easily enable or configure the search feature via the Power Platform Admin Center, allowing for a more tailored experience based on organisational needs.
