Hey everyone, I'm new to Compose so pardon the potentially stupid question...

I've got a Column of Composables that I'd like to filter based on a search bar, but I'm wondering how I can get the search bar's text lifted to its parent composable? I'm running into issues where if I pass a `@Model` object into the Search Bar composable from the parent then it'll get reset every time I type (I'm guessing this is because the parent re-renders causing the Search Bar re-renders)...

If anyone's done this and could share how they've done it or point me in the right direction that would be super helpful! Thanks :slightly_smiling_face:

```@Model
class SearchState(
    var textField : TextFieldValue = TextFieldValue()
)

@Composable
fun SearchBar(searchState: SearchState) {
    Surface(color = Color.LightGray, modifier = Modifier.padding(16.dp), shape = RoundedCornerShape(5.dp)) {
        TextField(
            value = searchState.textField,
            modifier = Modifier.padding(16.dp) + Modifier.fillMaxWidth(),
            imeAction = ImeAction.Search,
            onValueChange = { searchState.textField = it }
        )
    }
}

@Composable
private fun FeedContent(
    modifier: Modifier,
    entriesList: List&lt;Entry&gt;,
    searchState: SearchState = SearchState()
) {
    Stack(modifier = modifier.fillMaxSize()) {
        VerticalScroller {
            Column {
                SearchBar(searchState)
                for (entry in entriesList) {
                    if (entry.restaurant.toLowerCase().contains(searchState.textField.text.toLowerCase())) {
                        Clickable(onClick = { navigateTo(Screen.Entry(entry)) }) {
                            FeedCard(entry = entry)
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}```

I think I need to find some documentation on `remember` to fully wrap my head around how that works, but thank you!

As you are using `searchState.textField` inside FeedContent every time it changes `FeedContent` is recomposed and you have a new `SearchState()`

`remeber` is kind of like C languages static variables(First I read about `remeber` I thought about it like this)

Oh yeah that clears it up actually thanks a bunch :pray:
