Search bar - if blank, show nothing

1. "I'd like the results to be empty if the search bar is empty."
>Try:

=IF(I3="", "", FILTER(Contactlist, ISNUMBER(SEARCH(I3, Contactlist[System/funktion])) + ISNUMBER(SEARCH(I3, Contactlist[Namn])) + ISNUMBER(SEARCH(I3, Contactlist[Kommentar]))))

2. "Also, since this is a contactlist, is it possible that the searchresults make the email links clickable? As in if i click the email, it starts up the mailto function pretty much as it would in a normal table."

> Excel native filtering doesn't directly support hyperlinking, but there's a workaround using a helper column.

• Add a new column (let’s call it “Email Link”) next to your existing data.

• In each row of the “Email Link” column, create a hyperlink using the HYPERLINK function. For example:

=HYPERLINK("mailto:" & [@[Email]], [@[Email]])

Replace the [@Email]] with your cell reference to your email address on the contact list.
