Rating 8/10 despite the issues… if you use it in a simple one screen Flow only, or on the first screen of a Flow.
Quick Lookup
By UnofficialSF (Eric Smith). https://unofficialsf.com/lookup/
I had the highest hopes for this one, but unfortunately it’s not ready for prime time. Eric has done an amazing job with his Datatable component and if he had time to give this one a little more love it would be amazing.
Setup
Needs a Custom Property Editor.
The help docs are a bit light on… if they had the new CPE the Help Docs would make sense then.
No New Record option (there is an Issue for it though).
Can be turned into a dependant lookup.
Confusing as to how to set the current value. (you have to set the variable in Output Value with the selected ID)
No secondary field can be shown.
Can search on and display something other than Name (eg Website as per the example).

Usage
X button doesn’t look like standard.
No Help Text.
No pop up search page to find more options.
Can be quite long unless you enter a Where Clause.

Rating 4/10. Unless you need to do dependent lookups then I can’t really recommend it.
So what to do?
There are no options here that I can recommend out of the box.
Use Quick Actions instead of Flows.
Use Combo Boxes instead? (if you only have a few lookups).
Use one of the great custom LWC components and build them into your Flow.
Use Eric Smith’s Datatable to present the list of options to select from. Works really nicely.
Do you have any other suggestions?
