I need help with this search gui for chat logs and command logs

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hi, I am trying to achieve a custom chat logs list with a search gui. (already have chat logs working). Same with the command logs. I just need help with the search script, it isn’t working properly.

When I type things that are in the list, it doesn’t show them, but sometimes when I type things that aren’t in the list, it shows them.

Video of the issue:

Script for chat logs search:

local scroll = script.Parent.ScrollingFrame 
local textBox = script.Parent.TextBox 

textBox.Changed:Connect(function() changed
	local text = textBox.Text:lower() 
	if text ~= "" then -- if it has text
		local buttons = scroll:GetDescendants() 
		for _, button in pairs(buttons) do 
			if button:IsA("TextLabel") then 
				
				local buttonText = button.Text:lower() button text

				if string.find(buttonText, text) then 
					button.Parent.Visible = true 
				else -- otherwise
					button.Parent.Visible = false 

				end
	

			end
		--[[	if button:IsA("StringValue") and button.Name == "RuleText" then 
				local buttonText = button.Value:lower() 

				if string.find(buttonText, text) then 
					button.Parent.Visible = true 
				else 
					button.Parent.Visible = false 
				end
			end]]	
		end
	else -- if it's empty
		local buttons = scroll:GetDescendants()
		for _, button in pairs(buttons) do 
			if button:IsA("TextLabel") then 
				button.Parent.Visible = true 

			end
		end
	end
end)

Script for command logs:

local scroll = script.Parent.ScrollingFrame 
local textBox = script.Parent.TextBox 

textBox.Changed:Connect(function() changed
	local text = textBox.Text:lower() 
	if text ~= "" then -- if it has text
		local buttons = scroll:GetDescendants() 
		for _, button in pairs(buttons) do 
			if button:IsA("TextLabel") then 
				
				local buttonText = button.Text:lower() button text

				if string.find(buttonText, text) then 
					button.Parent.Visible = true 
				else -- otherwise
					button.Parent.Visible = false 

				end
	

			end
		--[[	if button:IsA("StringValue") and button.Name == "RuleText" then 
				local buttonText = button.Value:lower() 

				if string.find(buttonText, text) then 
					button.Parent.Visible = true 
				else 
					button.Parent.Visible = false 
				end
			end]]	
		end
	else -- if it's empty
		local buttons = scroll:GetDescendants()
		for _, button in pairs(buttons) do 
			if button:IsA("TextLabel") then 
				button.Parent.Visible = true 

			end
		end
	end
end)

This is what it looks like not playing the game.

There are no errors in the output.

Any help is appreciated.

I believe that you have an error in the loop where you check for buttons but instead you are checking for text labels

if button:IsA("TextLabel") then

should be

if button:IsA("TextButton") then

Okay, I will try that script now.

Btw, how the scrolling list elements (frames) look like?

I figured it out. Your idea reminded me of something. I changed it to “getchildren” and did frame instead of textlabel. It was making the textlabel visible instead of the frame. So that’s how it could’ve been messing up.
