Most Powerful Search Box Element - Searchbox Jedi

Meet the new Data Jedi Plugin Element — Searchbox Jedi

A fast, zero-WU (minus the initial fetch) typeahead for Bubble that feels native and bends to your data. Drop it in, point it at a list, and let users find and pick one item—instantly.

Why it’s different

  • Works with every Bubble data source: Custom Data Types, Option Sets, API results, and Plugin objects.

  • Multi-field search: Match across many fields at once (e.g., name, email, company, tags) with AND/OR semantics.

  • Rich, designer-friendly captions: Show multiple fields in one line, each formatted independently—uppercase here, lowercase there, regex cleanups, human-readable dates, and more.

  • Per-instance theming: Add Custom CSS right on the element. Each instance is cleanly scoped, so multiple search boxes on the same page can look and feel completely different.

  • Blazing client-side UX: Instant filtering with zero workload units.

  • Battle-tested details: Min characters to open, placeholder control, default selection, and a built-in clear/reset.

What your users see

  • Results that highlight the right info (not just a single label).

  • Clean, consistent formatting (names, IDs, badges, timestamps) in one compact row.

  • A snappy dropdown that opens only when it should, and stays out of the way when it shouldn’t.

What you control

  • Search fields: any combination of properties to match against.

  • Caption layout: mix and match fields, apply transforms (case, trim, replace, date formats, etc.).

  • Look & feel: borders, radius, shadows, density, hover/selected states, and the clear/reset UI—per instance, with copy-pasteable recipes from the docs.

Perfect for

  • People search (name + email + role)

  • Product lookup (title + SKU + stock + price)

  • Location pickers (city + country + codes)

  • Any multi-signal search where one precise selection matters


The updated DataJedi Plugin Element — Searchbox Jedi is a single-select, multi-field, per-instance-styled typeahead that works across all Bubble data types—and it’s fast, flexible, and easy to wire up.
