how can I use Fuzzy search and also apply additional filters.
Currently I use Fuzzy serach’s matches:filtered by two dropdowns as a datasurece + I use condition if the input for fuzzy search is empty I use different data source: do a search for:filtered by two dropdowns.
The problem is that if I enter anything in the inpit the table returns 0 resoults.
Doeas anyone have a solution for using fuzzy search with additional filters?
I’ve noticed recently that if the elements themselves aren’t within the same group as an input, it doesn’t work (i.e if I try and store the fuzzy search in floating group that lives beneath the page, it won’t work. Have to group it in with the input itself).
When you set constraints for the fuzzy search data, there should not be any issues as long as the expression you are using has valid values. The plugin is essentially searching the app database based on the query you set, so you can simply search through it in the input afterwards.
To better understand what went wrong in your case, would it be convenient for you to share some more information with us? Specifically, please let us know which exact fuzzy search plugin you are using and share the link to it. Also, please provide screenshots or a screencast showing how you set up the element, any related workflows, the problem you are experiencing, and the desired output. Additionally, please try to use the expression you mentioned in a simple group or repeating group to see if it indeed gives you the desired result or if they are empty. For recording, you can use the Loom tool.
These details will help us better understand your use case and further look into it.
Regarding your observation, indeed this may happen because when you use it inside a floating group, the element will be loaded faster on the page and it won’t see the Input element you are using for the matches.
And indeed, putting the element and input in the same group would be a better solution, but nonetheless we’ll check this point further.
