I have a question about searches. I created an Admin page so I can monitor certain stats. On the Admin page I have some searches and i display the sum, etc.
I noticed on my logs when viewing WU by Activity, there are a lot of searches from this admin page, over 700 from the past 30 days. I have only viewed the admin page a handful of times in the past 30 days.
Does Bubble perform the searches on pages that have not been opened? Why would Bubble be doing so many searches when the page is not being viewed? I can’t understand it.
If you use Bubble built-in plugins inside a group that is invisible that does search, sometimes search can be done regardless, but I have never heard of ‘‘another page’’ case, always Bubble fetches current user maybe thats it
I’ve been known to expect different results in WU metrics than what is reported. One area that I often made mistakes on was the number of searches performed, because if I open the debugger while the page is open to inspect any of the RG that do the search, the search is performed again.
Also, the number of searches number is not always accurate from a overview perspective in the sense of ‘how many times was this search performed’…one simple example is from a demonstration of my new plugin Data Jedi that reduces the WU consumption of searches by up to 95%.
In this example, one RG with a single do a search for thing, will usually result in the metrics showing 3 or 4 searches performed, but when you click into the chart you see it is one search for the actual search, one for the monitor search (ie: if something changes bubble updates) and another for aggregate (returns the count)…all of which are bundled into the chart as the same search (which it is).
The screen shot is from a video demonstration of the differences between a search performed with the Data Jedi approach to data structuring and the legacy approach. If interested that screen shot is from around 10:25 in the video
