The ZQ Fuzzy Search and Autocomplete plugin does not match correctly. Why?

I have a Team thing with the name “Acme Accounting Newcastle England Branch Ltd. Pty.”

The ZQ Fuzzy Search and Autocomplete plugin will match against “Acme Acco” but as I type more letters that match disappears.

Examples:

  • If I type “Acme Acco” it will match. Good.
  • If I type “Acme Accou” it no longer matches. Bad.
  • If I type “Acme Accounting Newcastle England Branch Ltd. Pty.” it does not match. Bad.

Why does the search result unmatch the more I type? The string is an exact match against the things name.

I am using the default search settings as shown below:

@thecashbag,

Please receive my apologies for the late reply :pray:

We have made a few tests with the plugin search capabilities and did not success to reproduce your case:

Would you kindly try a few things:

  1. reinstall the plugin;
  2. remove your plugin element from the page and try to recreate it again, using our demo page setup as an example:

I hope it helps :pray:

Be aware that when using this plugin all the data from your database that is to be ‘searched’ will be loaded by the plugin on page load, considerably slowing down the page load speed. As your app grows its database, this page load speed problem will only be exasperated.

You may find similar functionality through the bubble search box element…

May help you avoid issues in the future…I built out a header element to do an ‘app wide’ search with this plugin and had to abandon it.
