Can you run ZQ Fuzzy Search from Workflow (not in UI)

[thethinklab.au]

Is there a way to do a fuzzy search (using ZQ fuzzy search) in a workflow? This is what I want to happen:

1. User selects Thing from RG on Screen A
2. User selects continue
3. Workflow runs:

• sets custom state (‘selection’ = Thing)
• Fuzzy Search (Search&Autocorrect) runs (takes in ‘selection’)
• IF Fuzzy Search Search&Autocorrect) matches = 0, show screen B
• IF Fuzzy Search Search&Autocorrect) matches > 0, show screen C

I have a timing issue where a fuzzy search is on Screen A and takes in a custom state, but there isn’t enough time between ‘selection’ being set, Search&Autocorrect doing its search, so and the screen display evaluating matches… So matches is always = 0

If I debug with pauses this works fine as the time elapses… If I could do the fuzzy search in the workflow sequentially rather than in the UI this would help

Bump! I’m looking to do fuzzy search server side. @ZeroqodeSupport any tips?

Same @Atomily , I suggested it here

New Plugin- Fuzzy search and autocorrect, custom search boxes

Hi @ZeroqodeSupport, Could you add to your suggestion list to have Fuzzy Search as a server side action? Then we can use it in the backend and deliver to the client just the results instead of the entire list locking up the client’s browser. There wouldn’t need to be any logic for instant input response since we would just feed it text coming from the client hitting a search button. Thanks!
