Displaying the search string of Search box in a Text object

[shyamcharan]

Hi Experts,

Is it possible to display the text string entered in the search box in a separate Text Object.

My requirement is to get the search string and use it to search for related synonym in the synonyms table.

Any other suggestions are highly appreciable.

I have been discussing the same in the following thread.

Is Search with Synonym Words possible? | Qlik Community

Thanks heaps in advance.

Regards,

Shyam.

There is not a direct way of doing this.

Indirectly, you can use getfieldselections() or getcurrentselections() to get a string of the selections for 1 or more fields,  and then through an action, filter another field.

But it wouldn't differentiate which selections were made by the search vs other selection means because its getting the results from the  current selections / selection state.
