@CKARC 

Make accepts normal Airtable formulas.

You can test your desired formula by creating a test formula field in Airtable, and type in the Airtable formula that you want to use.

If your formula results in a non-zero, non-empty, non-error value for any particular record, then Make will find that particular record in your search results.

Hope this helps!

Thank you - i realised that make wouldnt run the text split in the same field as the airtable search . . made all the difference. Now to take your aadivce and slowly port a lot of workflows from zapier to make
