Hi, Bubblers.
I’m working on a search functionality for my end-users.
I have a Thing called “Sports”. And several entries in DB for that thing: football, basketball, tennis, hockey, etc.
On search page I have:
- input field,
- button to trigger a WF (send value from input field to repeating group),
- repeating group (to display results of a search).
What I want to achieve: search for all sports whose name contains value entered in Search input (full name or just a part of it).
Example: user types “ball” and presses search button. In the repeating group all sports with “ball” (basketball, football) in their names should be displayed.
When I type in full name of a sport (football) - the search works and I can see football in my repeating group.
When I type only “ball” - nothing is found (nor “football”, nor “basketball”)
The expression for data source of a repeating group is: Do a search for a Sport where "sports_name contains search_input’s value"
So as I understand, “contains” operation should help us to look for Sport just by a part of a name.
Am I wrong?
Updated. Just found topic with the same question: Searching Repeating Group with Wildcard
So, partial-word matching is not supported now.
