SEARCH formula not finding a character

[Jorge_Guerra_Ma]

I’m searching for the occurrence of a specific character in a text field with SEARCH but it doesn’t return any answer, can you help?

Hi @Jorge_Guerra_Martine,

Welcome to Airtable Community ! :slightly_smiling_face:

You should put the String To Find before the Where To Search, so it should be

SEARCH("r", AppUnNomre, 0) (although the 0 is default and you do not need to put it if you want to start from the beginning)

BR,
Mo
