How to add a control to search for terms in my text field?

Q&A

I am trying to create a calculated field to search for terms in the description using a parameter (called “Search” which is linked to a control) and return a “Yes” if they are present and “No” if they are not.

I get an error that the syntax for the “contains” function is wrong. The following is how my formula looks:
" ifelse(contains({description},${Search}),“Yes”,“No”) "

Can someone explain where I am going wrong ?

Hi

ifelse(contains({description},${Search},CASE_INSENSITIVE ) OR
IsNull(${Search}) ,“Yes”,“No”)

I achieved something similar with this code. I added the option CASE_INSENSITIVE to the contains function and another condition that you get a “Yes”, if there is nothing in the control.
