How to search for 'any matching items' in Bubble.

My definitive Bubble course (43+ lessons and counting, 18+ hours.) 👉 bit.ly/3OQTFEr
How to display a list of items that contains A OR B (or C or D or......). Another way of looking at this is we are searching using an 'OR' operator (rather than an 'AND' operator).

Once you started emphasizing the word "OR", I knew I was in the right place. This is super helpful, Matt! I've been banging my head against the wall for almost 4 hours now because of this. Cannot thank you enough, really... I also Loved how you actually took the time to explain how the whole filtering process goes from the pov of a "task", while you could've just given the formula. Just Brilliant!

Thanks so much for your video. The insight alone that advanced filters are done clientside will make me reconsider how I structure my app. Great vid!

[@phillipephan]

This was so tremendously helpful!! Thank you for posting this tutorial!! 🙏🙏

Great video, trying to figure out what is going on behind the scenes is difficult and you made this easy to understand.

Happy to hear it 🙂

Awesome thanks Matt. Been looking for this solution for a while. Go Kiwi.

Hi Matt, amazing video! I'm trying to figure it out how to use the advance constraints for booking and calendar availability. I’m trying to make a booking system like rover or wag have, where the clients can select dates and hours in a page, and then go to a results page showing only the pet sitters available within or containing these dates and hours. Do you know how I can do that? Thank you!

What i’ve been struggling with is that i have multiple filters like the “Assigned to” element you have in your video and when i make a condition like you do on one of the filter elements which are multi select dropdowns, I end up getting the :filtered data source, however since i have multiple filter options, they won’t work independently, unless you choose all the filters, meaning that until count is not 0 for every filtering option, it won’t display the data.

[@alessandrotoni6890]

Great video. I still have a problem as bubble doesn't recognise my multi dropdown as a list. Thoughts on how I can solve this?

[@automatic6843]

DUDE I was struggling w this for so long. Thanks for the video!

Welcome!

[@sanzharainabek272]

Great tutorial! But if I am adding same things like :filter with :until item to "Algolia search" as a data source for RG - is it gonna work?

[@rosandabus]

Tnks man. Very helpful!

[@GregRobinsonHD]

@matt - super helpful video and perfect timing - the project I'm working on needs something very similar so I'm definitely going to keep your guidance in mind. One question: I've been doing something similar to your popup trick, but putting it right in a hidden group directly on the page. Given that you can "hide on page load" a regular group, is there an advantage or reason you prefer the popup to hold your preliminary search/filtering criteria? Just curious. thanks again for another awesome vid!

[@mneary]

It just keeps things organised is all. You could just as easily put them in a hidden, collapsed group on the page!

[@GregRobinsonHD]

@@mneary got it. Thanks for the response!

[@Tw1nson]

Thank You So Much! It helped me

Nicely explained. Bubble would make it easier if they just said what Excel formula this or that function relates to.

@MattNeary hello am working on a school project online pharmacy using bubble , pls how do i make a search were users can search for a specific drugs he want to buy and it will only display the result to him without seeing my whole inventory, like a user search not an admin search

[@JamesH-v3g]

😀 great video. wonder how well this performs with 3,000+ items to search through. seen a lot about "advanced:" filters slowing things down.

[@mneary]

Hey Brad - great question. It won't work well on large lists like that. There is an alternative method commonly known as 'daisy chain' which can be used instead to marge lists of items There's a helpful video here which goes over the basics: www.loom.com/share/2aad9accd1b848c68aa9857e893548fb?referrer=findnocode.info

[@marcosviniciusviana9636]

and if i want to filter tasks that Peter AND Sera are in? i'm trying to do something like that but seems impossible lol

[@mneary]

Still use an advanced filter, but use 'contains list' as the operator. This tasks assignees contains list multidropdown assignees

How to prevent an empty comment.Even when i check the box for "input should not be empty" the comment box takes the value of Spacebar as an input and makes an empty comment

[@mneary]

You can always use a condition to make button not clickable unless input is not empty

[@davyS4v]

how can i insert ads (eg admob or unity ads or fb ads) in my web app?

[@mneary]

You would use the HTML element to hold your ad code (see support.google.com/adsense/answer/9190028)
