Text search --bug?

[ed13]

Help! - I’ve got major search woes. I have an ordinary text field that will not return search results if I type more than 2 letters. - And even the 2 letter search is inconsistent. (it will sometimes return a single result, though there are several matches)

At first - I noticed my “search$autocorrect” plugin was no longer returning any results (even with the threshold set to 1! - should show ALL items)

Then I abandoned the plugin and tried a simple Input with Repeating group constraint.

As an example, if I start to type with the letter “b” -my repeating group returns x4 results (though there are more than 4 book titles with a “b”)

if I add an “r” it returns a single result – looks like the first match – even though there is more than 1 title with a “br.”

This is just an example - basically - of I type 1 letter I’ll get a partial list and if I add a letter or two - I get no results.

Any ideas?

Wow - I have no idea why this is the case - but it turns out the search only works if the input is Visible on page load.
I was revealing the input with a workflow - and for whatever reason -that breaks the search.

Have you checked your privacy rules?

Hey Johnny - thanks for the response! - Some forum digging did lead me to check out the privacy rules, and I do have a rule on the data type, but I tried deleting the rule entirely and that didn’t work.

but - I still feel like this might be related.
Any idea why setting the Input element to Visible on Page load somehow solves everything?
