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
  1. Open the list and tap the list menu .
  2. Tap Search in the list .
  3. 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.
