Thank you for making this video. The fuzzy search added a really nice feature for my site. One thing I learned playing around with it is that the fuzzy search settings icon cannot be hidden, it will break the search functionality.
Thank you Greg. I can't tell you how helpful this video was. It arrived like a present on Christmas morning. I really appreciate how you took us though the ENTIRE process of setting the fuzzy search up (e.g., installing the plug-in, configuring the attributes, etc.).
Thanks for sharing the number of items fuzzy search can handle at once. I’ve had good luck using Algolia, but it doesn’t handle searching lists of any field type unless you choose “Any field” as your search field. This can be an issue if you want to search a list of texts or another list of field types quickly, but it seems this solution would work.
I had some issues with this at first. Then I realised my issue - the search box or "Input Fuzzy Search" should be an 'Input' element, not a 'Search Box' element. Hopefully others find this helpful.
Hello, I am an entrepreneur & I am learning Bubble to make apps for various internal processes. Your videos have helped me a lot. Can you help me build one? I cam learn a lot more
Thanks for a great tutorial. One question though, this works great for me, but I can't search my order number because you can only search text fields, afaik. been trying to figure out how to create a new text field on each record and then copy the order number into it on the create order workflow so that I could use it as a search parameter.
I tried using fuzzy search, but ran into a problem and started wondering, if it is supposed to work just one time and if so, how could I work around that? I am building a "create new item" menu and trying to make a closed loop of functions: 1. User types a few letters into an input. 2. Repeating group shows options, based on a search of database (via fuzzy search). 3. User picks desirable option from a repeating group and clicks on it. 4. A custom state is triggered, which stores an option a user clicked (later to be used in creating or updating a thing in a database). 5. Since I would like an input to reset (and through conditions show the option a User chose), I use a "reset input a Search & Autocorrect" function and use aforementioned conditionals to show the option a User chose. Up until this point, everything works fine, actually loving the speed in which the fuzzy search works. But then, if a User wants to do the search again, the fuzzy search does not work. I try typing into the input and no search results are shown. Tried not using step no 5. (I think I maybe could work around that), but still, no effect, so wondering if the fuzzy search is supposed to only work once. Does anybody know, how to make this sort of closed loop, so the User can search and choose however many times he/she wants?
I was wondering: what would be better in the case of search things from the database, but, in this cenario, just return the user's name. A searchbox would be enough for usuability or create a repeating group filtered by the fuzzy search is better? What do you think?
Hi Greg. Can this plugin be used to search items straight from an API source? For example, when you select a non Bubble database item for instance Users in the Data Source field on this plugin, then the Field to Search options disappear, then how would you make the plugin work if the Data Source I'm using is an item like Get data from external API? Do you know if this plugin allows that kind of search?
Great tutorial Greg. One question, do you know if it's possible to have two search & autocorrects (each linked to a different repeating group) but utilising the same search bar? THe use case is searching for locations and events, each of which is a data type
Hi Greg! It is all good. But what about searching and get results from two Data Types? I got Users and Orders. Want to search through these two database with one search input.
@@Buildcamp wonderful, at the moment i enter udemy through the notebook and in transcription i copy all the text and paste it on google translator, i am only brazil and my english is very bad unfortunately. its bubble content is simply one of the best. congratulations
Oi Willian tudo bem , para você assistir no youtube em qualquer idioma faz assim: ao lado do icone do idioma (na parte inferior da tela) tem uma engrenagem ,colocando o mouse em cima vai aparecer 'Detalhes' , da um click , neste momento vai aparecer um menu com os itens seguintes (de cima pra baixo) .Reprodução automatica .Anotações .Velocidade da reprodução .LEGENDAS/CC (da um click) ,vai aparecer mais um menu : TRADUZIR AUTOMATICAMENTE (da mais um click) , isso vai te levar a uma lista enorme de idiomas , e so selecionar o idioma desejado. Espero ter ajudado
@@McInfoline Opa meu querido muito obrigado por essas informações, sim aqui no youtube faço exatamente desta forma, porém eu quis dizer dele colocar no curso que ela tem na udemy, eu comprei ele tem muito conteúdo bom, porém a legenda lá só em inglês mesmo, obrigado de verdade , grande abraço e sucesso sempre.
Thanks Greg for the great tutorial as always. Unrelated to the fuzzy search, but what is that element you use for the skills repeating group? It looks like it dynamically fits to the text. I've been trying to use a button, group, or just the text itself, but the height seems to get set to whatever I have in the editor when trying to do something similar.
@Buildcamp hello pls 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
Within the last couple of hours I've watched and followed 3 separate tutorials for using this plugin. It simply doesn't return any matches, although the list of the data type that I am searching through contains all of the required fields and has content in them as well. Does anyone know why this could be happening?
Very helpful. Can you include the name of the service in the description that you use when there are more than a few hundred entries to search? I couldn't quite understand that
Nice tutorial! But how to allow the repeating group visible without typing any value in the fuzzy search bar? (my repeating group is set to visible when page load but it is not showing up if i didnt type any value in the search bar). Please help! Thanks
Field to search is not populating for me. I am using my data source successfully in my app, but for some reason, it won't show my fields in the dropdown.
Could you please share if we can use this function with Airtable as well? I am trying to do it yet; I can not get any result when I put the REST API connection for Airtable. Even though bubble brings the API result; fuzzy search do not get any.
Hello greg! I specifically followed the direction stated herein, but when I start to enter in the fuzzy inputbox, the whole RG is not showing its source. Based on the evaluator, when I type a keyword in the fuzzy search, the Search&Autocorrect A's Matches = empty.
youtube.com/@Buildcamp I would also be very interested in a solution. In my case, I was able to activate the search via a url tab. But Fuzzy Search is only activated when I click into the search input. Is there a way that Fuzzy Search starts directly on pageload?
Love it. Love the way you explain very good pace when the listener needs to focus. Still fantastic when I play with 1.25 or 1.5 speed.
Thank you!

Greg, your explanations are always first class. God save the King.

@@Buildcamp Thanks again for this! I had to refresh my memory on the fuzzy search and this was perfect. Thanks!
So wonderful, calm, and pedagogical style you have!
Thank you! 😊
This is a very useful search this Fuzzy Search, very fast indeed. Thank you for sharing Greg!
Glad you enjoyed it!

Bubble is rolling out faceted search via Algolia next year I think.
I had some issues with this at first. Then I realised my issue - the search box or "Input Fuzzy Search" should be an 'Input' element, not a 'Search Box' element. Hopefully others find this helpful.
Great tutorial! Note: "this element visible on page load" has to be checked, otherwise the search won't work.
This comment solved a problem that I have been looking to solve for 4 hours now. Thank you.
Can you make a tutorial on how you use Algolia for large data?
Thank you for this video, Greg. What i would like to know now is how to add filters with Fuzzy's search. Hoping you can create another tut for this!
Excellent tutorial ! Thanks for sharing.
Could you make a tutorial for a fuzzy search that references option sets and linked data types?
As always, a very good teaching lesson Congratulations Greg
Glad you liked it!

Unfortunately not - it needs to pull from the db.
Hi Gregory, is it possible to change the sensitivity (threshold) of this plugin in run time? Thanks for the excellent tutorials.
Great tutorial Greg. One question, do you know if it's possible to have two search & autocorrects (each linked to a different repeating group) but utilising the same search bar? THe use case is searching for locations and events, each of which is a data type
You can only search for 1 type of content at a time. Maybe create a toggle button to switch between two search inputs using conditionals.
Love it, very helpful

Very helpful. Can you include the name of the service in the description that you use when there are more than a few hundred entries to search? I couldn't quite understand that
algolia.com - it integrates with Bubble directly.

It doesn't affect page load speed.

Hello greg! I specifically followed the direction stated herein, but when I start to enter in the fuzzy inputbox, the whole RG is not showing its source. Based on the evaluator, when I type a keyword in the fuzzy search, the Search&Autocorrect A's Matches = empty.
I was able to make it work already! The ID attribute can only be 1 word, that was the issue. Anyway, thanks for the wonderful and helpful video!
Great stuff thank you Greg
Very welcome
can you help me please? i can't find my fields even when i do search for it
What do you do if the input is on a seperate page?

I'm trying to to do this in a reusable element and its not working. Do I have to adjust anything for a reusable?
I think we are having the same problem, pls let me know if you have a solution already
unfortunately this trick is not working when you have a database with >5000 items to search for. Any suggestions ?
Muito Obrigado Amigo.
Very helpful
Very helpfully, but not very viable for large data...
Use Algolia for large data sets.
