I have a searchbar which is a Textbox and I want to make it so if users type for example spiderman90438 into it than textLabel will say something, Kinda like this:
if Type.Text == "spiderman90438"
then textone.Text = "spiderman90438 is the owner of Roogle"
end
To help you textone is the textLabel and Type is the Searchbar, When I did it, It didn't work so I assume there is a different code for if the string of Type is spiderman90438 than the text changes, But what is the code?
Answer 2 for the comment on the first one
You must edit your code, and have a string stored somewhere with the information.
NewInformation = "XYZ"
Type.FocusLost:connect(function()
local text = Type.Text
textone.Text = NewInformation
end)
If you need more search functions, add an if function.
Type.FocusLost:connect(function ()
local text = Type.Text
if textt == "SquirreIOnToast" then
textone.Text = "SquirreIOnToast is xyz"
elseif text == "spiderman90438" then
textone.Text = "spiderman90438"
elseif text == "Puppies" then
textone.Text = "Puppies are cute." --Etc. Keep doing this until you end up with your desired result.
end
end)
If you wish for further reading on how to make a text-finding search engine, I suggest the three pages:
http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=Table
http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=Global_namespace/String_manipulation&redirect=no
http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=Loops
It should be fairly easy to teach yourself using those resources if you want to expand on this project.
Use the following function here:
Step 1:
Use the FocusLost event
Type.FocusLost:connect(function()
-- Rest of function goes here
end)
Then combine the second part:
Type.FocusLost:connect(function()
local text = Type.Text
textone.Text = text .. " is the owner of Roogle"
end)
And that should work!
Find the wiki here
Hope this helps!
Oh and, if you wanted your 'if' statement, just use the code you put in your question and place it in the ' Rest of function goes here ' area.
How do I make it so if the user types "Dunkin Donuts" it will show different text and not just "Dunkin Donuts is the owner of roogle"
Change the string in line 3 to what you want. If you want it so it depends on what you type, add an if statement.

textbox.Changed:connect(function(Type)
Your comment does not help me in anyway because I don't know how I would use that piece of coding.
That's why you use the wiki.
I am looking right now and I don't see anything, Do you have the link to this "wiki" page?
