We are introducing a faster, more intuitive search experience in Power Apps grid filters and lookup fields. This update replaces the legacy search with Dataverse search, delivering contains-based and fuzzy matching, hit highlighting, and improved performance. This feature is scheduled to be released on April 30, 2026.How does this affect me?Searches within grid column filters and lookup controls in model-driven apps will now be more responsive and forgiving of typos or partial matches. Users will see highlighted search terms in results and benefit from a consistent search experience across the app.The legacy search will remain available as a fallback to ensure smooth continuity.What action do I need to take?This message is for awareness, and no action is required.
