Any plugin for this? ZQ’s Fuzzy Search & Autocomplete plugin does not work with text data type so I need another way of doing this
Use fuzzy search & autocomplete plugin by Zeroqode
I am sorry i didn’t mention this explicitly. What I mean by ZQ’s plugin is that Zeroqode’s Fuzzy search and autocomplete plugin does not work with a text data type as source, so cannot use it.
Hi there, I too also use Zeroqode’s Fuzzy Search & Autocomplete Plugin (this one: Fuzzy search & Autocomplete Plugin | Bubble ) and it does have a text data type option:
Well, yes I have it too but for some reason it does not recognize the list of text. But when I pass another data type it does
Could you share screenshots of how the list of text is stored / populated, and then how you’re attempting to set it as the data source in the Fuzzy Search plugin?
Sure! I am in hurry to go out but will be back soon and provide the screenshots for anyone to see. In the meantime, I’ve recorded this quick loom showcasing everything: Videos | Library | Loom - 31 July 2025 | Loom
Will get the screenshots as soon as I come back.
Thanks a lot
I tested here and it seems that the Zerocode fuzzy search really doesn’t work in this case. Checking the errors in the console, it throws an error in a function that’s trying to access a JSON object when it’s actually receiving a string. That’s why it doesn’t function as expected.
However, I’ve found a perfect solution for you! There’s another plugin you can use:
“Fuzzy Search - text data type”
(Literally named exactly for this use case, haha!)
I tested it here, and it worked perfectly:
- The plugin has an “Input ID” field, which initially didn’t work in my test. But using the dynamic value from “Search Value” instead made it function flawlessly.
- Just note, when using Bubble’s default input, you might notice a slight delay due to how Bubble updates its input values. If you want to eliminate this delay, consider using an additional plugin element that instantly captures the input value.
- I recommend using my own plugin, Input Fast Value/Instant text Enhanced, which captures the input instantly. Just pass the value from “Input Fast Value” instead of Bubble’s default input, and your search will be super fast and responsive.
Here’s my plugin if you’d like to check it out:
Hope this helps you solve your issue, and let me know if everything works out!

Woaah thanks man! It worked.
I must admit I had seen the plugin for fuzzy search - text data type but got discouraged because it says that it tracks and collect our data. It is unnecesary for this sort of things tbh.
I will check out your plugin as well bc right now I used 1T input watcher which I already had installed in my app but hey, always good to try new stuff!
Thanks so much!

Hello sdcuru97,
Thank you for reaching out!
We’ve reviewed both the ZQ Fuzzy Search and Autocomplete Plugin and the Fuzzy Search Pro Plugin documentation, and unfortunately, neither version currently supports searching over a list of plain texts.
We also noticed the valuable input from members of the Bubble community, and we’d like to thank the posters in this thread for their input and for offering an alternative solution.
If you need further assistance, feel free to reach out!
Best regards,

Hey, that’s awesome news, glad it worked for you!
I dug into the plugin’s code and the Fuse.js script it loads, and I didn’t see any calls to external services or any telemetry/hooks that collect user data. The only network request is the one to fetch the Fuse.js library from the CDN; after that, all fuzzy-search processing happens locally in your browser.
Let me know if you run into anything else or have more questions!
