I have a search box and a repeating group with different content types. I’m showing RG data that contains the search box value (tag). That’s fine, but if i type the exact text corresponding to the tag in the search box without selecting the value in the dropdown then i won’t get any matches because there’s no text field in the RG content type that corresponds to the tag.
out of this reason i like to use an input.
below the input you can show a group/ group focus with search suggestions depending on what you type, using the search & autocorrect plugin.
It is covered in a video tutorial here: https://youtu.be/gF8mpZtfWLU
