I’m implementing a similar functionality to the Searchbox function that’s native to Bubble, but it’s so slow! I have an input textbox and a repeating group below it that lists results based on a lowercase “contains” search (I store this separately in my DB because Bubble doesn’t have a case-insensitive search feature), like so: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/bubble/original/3X/9/7/97da93ad5fc6968f7fae497173cc6e6bdf634e94.png) When I type, it takes about 1 - 2 seconds after I stop typing for the repeating group to update. Is there a way to speed this up? I don’t think this is a db speed issue because 1) I only have a few dozen records at this point and 2) the Search Box feature shows results immediately. So, is this a matter of getting the repeating group to update faster? How do I make my results as fast as the Search Box results? ---

Hi @johndurso you might want to try and experiment with this plugin: [Instant text Plugin | Bubble](https://bubble.io/plugin/instant-text-1527871417291x467091680897007600). This will help with the starting delay. Cheers, ---

ZQ’s Fuzzy Search does work but do take note that it does struggle with large records and will slow down your page if not done right. It’s awesome but takes a good setup if you are trying to filter through large data. ---

That’s good to know, what constitutes good setup? ---

It works better with lighter data (less fields) since the plugin loads every record in your data source. A good workaround i found in my CRM was to have Fuzzy search through a state’s list of text containing just the search parameter (eg. Full Name) and I’ll point my RG’s data source’s constraint/advanced filter to the plugin’s result (eg. Full Name is in Result) I’ve since built a simple but performant search workflow for my CRM but I suggest trying the plugin first! ---

Hello @johndurso Try using “contains keywords” instead of “contains” > [@Contains Keywords matching rules](http://forum.bubble.io/t/contains-keywords-matching-rules/141159/2): > > Hi @alan5 , My experience has been that “contains keyword(s)” returns: whole words only words in any order case insensitive words “Contains” requires: partial words words need be in precise order case sensitive words Hope this helps +1:t2 ---

@cmarchan - I don’t think that would work for my use case, because I want potential search results to pop up before a word is complete, much like the Search Box functionality does. “Contains keywords” only works with whole words. @ihsanzainal84 thanks, I’ll try that with the workaround. ---
