I have a website that provides room listings. The functionality for Search was working fine for quite some time. There have been no changes to the logic. However, there are few glitches in the search and I can’t seem to figure out why. The weird thing is some locations show the listings and some don’t. Also, it works perfectly in test version.
http://www.wedesy.com (live version): If you search for “room or entire place” in Buffalo, NY. It shows up listings. However, if you search for New York, NY or Jersey City. It shows up listings sometimes and other times the repeating group is empty. Same applies for Markers on maps.
Any ideas why the erratic behavior in production? If the issue was consistent then I’d have figured that there is something wrong with the logic. But it’s not and results are showing up correctly at times for the same criteria. This is a key functionality for the site as the whole model is built on able to find relevant listings. If anyone has any ideas regarding, please let me know.
Thanks @dbevan - I double checked and everything seems to be fine on that end. The weird thing it was working fine all this time and this issue seems to have started few days back.
@florent.bocquelet: I am thinking it is related to that issue as well. Hopefully, it’s fixed soon.
I am not sure if either of you have maps on your app but earlier, whenever I changed the search location, the map would automatically navigate to that area. This doesn’t seem to be happening anymore either. Any idea regarding this?
Well here’s what I’ll say. My “Map Centered On” value is a location of whatever location is being search. I noticed that when there were no results, it would automatically take me to New York. As a result, I had to create 2 maps (one on top of the other) so when the results count was 0, it would show this secondary map that only showed the location.
I also recently saw that for whatever reason, when sorting by a number, you also need to make sure you sort by something like “created date” as well or else some items won’t show up.
Just some weird stuff that I found recently. They MAY be related to your problem. Hope that helps in any way.
The repeating group issue is fixed. Bubble team must have taken care of it!
With regards to the map, I realized there’s an option to center it on whatever location is being searched. If you check “Set Center and Zoom Manually”, you can actually have the map pointed to your search box value. So ideally, if there are no results for your results, the map should still take you to whatever location is being searched.
