Search & filtering: Getting started with Bubble (Lesson 5.5)

[@nitin_dixit]

If we don't put the data type of term and location in get data from url for search, it shows an error. Basically expecting more to enter in it.

[@techkideg]

me too

[@peaceofmind-lofi]

Also, when scrolling through the search results, I would like the sponsored job section to remain fixed. Could you let me know how to achieve that?

[@gregory-john]

I think I may have answered this already but search for 'Bubble sticky CSS' - I created a YT short about it.

[@peaceofmind-lofi]

If you search by company name, no results are displayed. The reason might be that the "RepeatingGroup jobs" type of content is set to "job," but the "company" is not properly sourced from the Job's database. Could you please let me know how I can search by company name?

[@gregory-john]

Good question and we do cover this later. In a nutshell, create a new field on a Job data type called 'Company name' of type 'Text' and when you create a Job in the company dashboard, capture the company name and save it to this new field. You'll then be able to search for the company name via the 'query' parameter.

you can do a group by in do a seach and then add the new data type

@@gregory-john When I search company names, only the company that I created will show up in the search. Any of the companies that are created by (app admin) do not show up in the results. For example, if I search Orbit, nothing comes up. I have gone through everything that I can think of and it all seems correct. Is this the same issue?

[@khalidradwan4838]

I have used this method of searching and it's great as it searches irrespective of the case of the word you/entry you're looking for (upper/lower case). The only issue is that you have to get the full word in order for it to work I believe. If you type Bran as opposed to Brand, you won't have a result. The other method I used was a simple input field with a filter in the table, this method gets you results as you type (almost), in other words you could be typing Br and it would show you Brand, Bravo, Brisk, etc. Then as you keep typing, only the correct word will show. The problem is that it's case sensitive, I wish there was a method that combined both methods (or rather got the best of both methods).

It sounds like you're after a fuzzy search implementation. There are some Bubble community plugins to support this. For scale, I suggest integrating with Algolia for real-time fuzzy search.

[@khalidradwan4838]

@@gregory-john Thanks Greg, do you have a video that shows how to accomplish this? Also, where do I get Algolia from?

What's the reason for not using custom states? I found it easier, especially when dealing with more complicated constraints like date ranges

[@Anon-e1g]

Hey! I'm trying to add a constraint to search for a number that falls in a range. Said another way: If i'm trying to add a way for the user to search for a salary that falls within a range for the job, how can i do that? I'm also trying to do the same for remote

[@ben_tyler5]

hi Gregory, when adding constraint for the repeating group, y are we using the url parameter rather than just filtering by displaying the relevant group's data. for example for location , location = dropdown location's value. I actually tried this but it displays the data before clicking the search button

[@nitin_dixit]

There seems to be a bug in showing empy constraint field, it was not showing earlier, but when I clicked add a new contraint option, it showed up. Don't know if you'll find it, but this needs to be fixed.

[@techkideg]

I figured it out el7amdullah. In the Get data from page URL popup box make sure that the parameter name is correct and that the type is not "text" but is "Term" from your option sets and then apply the same to the "location" parameter "Location" option set.

[@svinod7859]

Hello, my term dropdown works perfectly well, but my location dropdown always shows zero results, even though I have 5 live jobs. Please help me with this issue.

[@techkideg]

me too

[@svinod7859]

@@techkideg I resolved the issue. I made a small mistake in the search constraints.

[@mmendezgracia]

I think have missed to show what happen with you active the location dropdown, in my case, input search and term dropdown work properly but when chose some option from the the second dropdown (location) is not filtering. what might happening ?

[@komolafemichael2402]

me too have you found a solution to it?

[@MartinFagart]

@@komolafemichael2402 Same problem here, did you find the solution ?

[@kassporteza]

Hello Greg, When I click preview, there is no location or logo showing in the available jobs. I keep checking the data, and I can see the location and logo there. Where do you think the problem is?

[@kassporteza]

I manually encoded the company entries instead of uploading the file from the resources folder.

[@kassporteza]

I resolved this one by putting group sponsored job's company's logo instead of parent group job's company logo in the sponsored job card.

[@gregory-john]

@@kassporteza Do you mean that you manually added the jobs 1 by 1 to the Bubble database via the App data tab instead of the CSV file?

[@komolafemichael2402]

@@gregory-john yes and the logo is not showing

[@nksbits]

The above search is for multiple criteria with an "AND" condition. How do we do for "OR" condition?
