How to find an item on a list
On a long list, the quickest way to find an item is Search in the list. When you type a name, the list shows only matching items, including ones already bought.
Search for an item
Step by step3 steps
- Open the list and tap the list menu
- Tap Search in the list
- Start typing the item’s name.
Search only covers the open list. If the item is on a different list, open that list and search again.
What you can do in the results
- Check off or uncheck an item: tap the box next to it, just like on the regular list.
- Add an item that isn’t on the list: tap Add in the search results.
- Go back to the whole list: clear the search field or close the search.
Search only filters the list. It doesn’t change the order of items or create a new list.
