  1. Nice React Native search bar. I have a question tho, how can this be set up to include an onPress() for each of the data uniquely to end up on another page or perform a function after the search has been found?

  2. Hello, thank you for the explanation
    We miss the part about the Activity Indicator in the code of Home.js though, can you add it ?
    Thanks
