I have a page just using search field and it search only in the loaded items, not all items in the CMS.

Hello @per.boymo!

I’ve checked up your setup and it seems like you forgot the fs-cmsload-element=“list” attribute.

Try adding it to the CMS Collection and tell me if it works! 😉

Yes - seems like I changed to load for the list to. But error (only search in the singel page) is still there.

Hey @per.boymo apologies for the confusion, you need to have both `fs-cmsload-element = list` and `fs-cmsload-mode = pagination` defined on the list for CMS Load to work properly.

Txs- work like a charm, but have to have one attribute at the wrapper level and the next in list level. Otherwise error mesg"attribute exists already"

hey @per.boymo! The error appears as I think you are trying to add this attribute which is wrongly named.

You are repeating the load mode attribute, the one shown in the picture should be named `fs-cmsload-element`.

Check this example, we can define the list element and the load mode on the same element 😉

Hi, I’ve followed all the steps and applied the correct attributes, but the search functionality isn’t working as expected with the “Load More” button. Could you help me troubleshoot this?\*\*

Hi @hamza1!  
This thread is from Attributes Legacy (v1), so maybe it’s not the same issue.  
Could you please send me a read-only link on a new thread so I can review your page?
