Hi everyone,

I’m looking to create a search bar in the game to look for specific items in the inventory, but I’m still new to Godot and I don’t exactly know what control nodes to use to do just that. How would you do it?

Thank you!

Use a LineEdit-node and connect its text_changed-signal if you want to implement a live-search or the text_entered-signal if you want the user to confirm the query first. Both signals provide the new_text as an argument to the callback.
