Thanks Jason! This is helpful, never tried the plugin, but now I’m tempted to

J805 · 2020-09-21T14:08:38.180Z

Yeah. It’s pretty helpful. Keep it in mind for when you might need it later.

Hope that helps!

Hi,

Thank you very much for the settings, I’m now happy with the results.
Nevertheless I’ve still got an issue regarding my search bar that I have to fix.

When a user types something in the search bar, clicks a result (opening the popup), and then closes the popup to redo a search, the search bar doesn’t consider the new characters in the input.
Here is a short clip of what’s happening to better understand the issue : https://youtu.be/5uuA77Qww-I

If you could help me with it, it would be great.

I just updated this editor example to reset the inputs, it should work.

J805:

Editor: https://bubble.io/page?type=page&name=searchfuzzy&id=805testapp42&tab=tabs-1

Preview: https://805testapp42.bubbleapps.io/version-test/searchfuzzy?debug_mode=true

You should be able to do the same thing. Maybe there is something in your workflow that is not allowing it to show up correctly. See if the new example is a better example for your situation.

Hope that helps!

Thank you @J805.
It now works!

J805 · 2021-02-10T16:58:10.644Z

Glad that helped.

Is anyone having trouble with this plugin? My app has been crashing and I narrowed it down to this plugin. When I delete the element from my page, no crashing and when I add it back in it crashes again. I tried reinstalling the plugin and that didn’t seem to work
Anyone else having issues?

J805 · 2023-12-07T16:42:13.437Z

It might be depending on what version you are using. What version of the plugin are you using currently?

paul29 · 2023-12-07T23:25:55.086Z

Thanks for your help. I have the most recent version installed. Checking the version was the first thing I checked once I narrowed it down to this plugin.

I’m on 1.4.3. That was the one that was stable for me. Sometimes the newer ones broke it when I tested it.

paul29 · 2023-12-07T23:59:00.757Z

Thanks for that feedback. I’ll try that

johnny · 2023-12-08T00:16:40.750Z

Hmm maybe a ping to @ZeroqodeSupport to fix the newer version

paul29 · 2023-12-08T02:55:35.557Z

I just downgraded to 1.4.3 and it’s still crashing.

Here is how I got to this point:

create a savepoint and delete pretty much every other element on my page except for my plugin elements.
delete the plugin elements one at a time to determine what the culprit is
Revert to savepoint
Post on this thread and then downgrade as per @J805 suggestion.

I have not repeated steps 1 and 2 with version 1.4.3 yet (cuz it’s a pain and I really don’t want to. So based on this information, there must be some other plugin running in the background in my app that the plugin is clashing with that exists in v1.4.3 and higher. Given I deleted all other elements on the page, I don’t really see how there is any other possibility

@ZeroqodeSupport Any suggestions here?
Thanks

J805 · 2023-12-08T03:38:00.469Z

Also, what version of Bubble are you on? It might be a conflicting plugin too. Just some ideas.

You can delete the other plugins and see if it works then.

Or make sure you don’t have any other raw code on the page.

paul29 · 2023-12-08T03:49:01.780Z

Yah that’s the next step. Just such a laborious process. Don’t really see how I have any other choice. Thanks for your help. Much appreciated.

paul29 · 2023-12-11T03:41:50.696Z

So this took absolutely forever and the answer seems so obvious once I figured it out. The datasource for the search & autocorrect plugin had 24,000 entries in it. Clearly the plugin can’t handle this.

@ZeroqodeSupport Can you comment on the limit of what the plugin can handle please?

paul29 · 2023-12-11T03:52:42.732Z

So upon a little further investigation, it seems like the plugin processes the data source. The more entries in the data source, the more processing it takes (I can monitor with Shift+Esc). Chrome seems to crash when the total memory exceeds 300 MB. If the total processing requires less than this (plus the rest of the app), then it doesn’t crash.

Guess I’ll need to implement Algolia or something similar.

J805 · 2023-12-11T04:01:45.517Z

@paul29 This plugin can handle 58k+ Quick Find Search & Facet Filtering Plugin | Bubble

I also would recommend trying out TypeSense instead of Algolia to save a lot of money.

paul29 · 2023-12-11T04:04:18.413Z

Wow. Thanks so much. Really appreciate the help

Hello everyone @paul29 @J805 @johnny

Dealing with a substantial amount of data often poses challenges. An effective approach is to leverage third-party storage solutions like Algolia or AWS to handle this volume of information. By storing data externally, you can subsequently retrieve it within your Bubble application. It’s essential to recognize that our plugin’s performance is influenced not only by the quantity of records but also by the “fat content” of the object, including the number of search fields. Occasionally, a larger table with fewer search fields may deliver better performance than a smaller table with more search fields. While data volume impacts search speed, it’s crucial to consider other factors, such as potential server capacity constraints for your app or the performance of the device running the app with the plugin.

For enhanced data processing capabilities, you might want to explore our Fuzzy Search Pro plugin. Our developers have made significant improvements in the pro version. You can subscribe to it for testing within your app and unsubscribe after a day or two if it doesn’t meet your specific use case. Rest assured, you’ll only be charged for the duration you actively use the plugin.

We hope this information proves helpful!

Wishing everyone a joyful holiday season!
