i currently have a problem with my search box. my search box is an input that triggers a group that contains a repeating group. the repeating group does a search for posts based on the input’s value.
the results only show up if they exactly match the input’s value…
…but this is not getting me the functioning that i want because i want the results to be based on relevance to the input’s value, the way all searches work on the internet.
The “Contains” function currently only supports complete words (for example, “Peter” will return “Peter”, but “Pete” will return nothing). A more flexible search has been asked for on the board earlier, and the Bubble team has, if I remember correctly, said that this will probably be added at some point in the future, but they can’t commit to a date.
This thread takes up the same challenge, with some discussions on the new feature, and a possible (but complex) workaraound:
It’s an important distinction to make that while the Bubble website is ‘built on Bubble’, the forum is powered by the popular, open-source Discourse platform. You’ll find not every Bubble touchpoint is Bubble-built.
