+## Description
+
+How to implement a ListView seach box, similar to the [SearchBox in the Blazor Grid](https://demos.telerik.com/blazor-ui/grid/searchbox)? I would like to use a single input to search and filter in all data fields of the ListView data.
+
+## Solution
+
+It is possible to search and filter the ListView programmatically. The example below is a modified version of the [ListView filtering demo](https://demos.telerik.com/blazor-ui/listview/filtering).
+
+* Notice the usage of a [`CompositeFilterDescriptor`](https://docs.telerik.com/blazor-ui/api/Telerik.DataSource.CompositeFilterDescriptor), instead of a [`FilterDescriptor`](https://docs.telerik.com/blazor-ui/api/Telerik.DataSource.FilterDescriptor). This is because we are searching in multiple fields with an `OR` logical operator. The [Grid Filtering documentation]({%slug components/grid/filtering%}#filter-descriptors) explains the difference between the two descriptor types.
+* Populate the `FilterDescriptors` collection of the `CompositeFilterDescriptor` object with one `FilterDescriptor` for each field that you want to search in.
