Search only Works with Last of Multiple Fields

BuffaloCoWI — Wed, 07 Jun 2023 16:54:46 GMT

I have a search widget with multiple search sources: different fields in the same data source. When I start typing, it displays multiple search suggestions, from each of the fields where those characters occur. However, when I click on many of the suggestions, it says "No results found." It works properly for one of the fields, but only the last one in the order they are arranged. I experimented with changing the order, and whichever field is arranged last works correctly, but the other fields do not find results. Also, if I restrict the search to one field, it works correctly, or if I restrict it to fewer fields, whichever field is last works correctly.

Do you have the "Auto select the first result" option turned on?

I have discovered that when this box is checked the search widget will ignore the user's chosen data source and return data from the first data source with a valid response.

I do not have that selected, though I did try it while debugging. It doesn't work either way.

Hi @BuffaloCoWI ,

I'm not sure if it is related to a known bug. Would you mind sharing a sample app with me? My username is she10946.

Thanks,

I sent you the URL in a DM. Since posting this, I've been leaning toward using Instant Apps instead. I created a prototype app on there before I ever started working on Experience Builder, and it functioned just how I wanted from the start. It's not as customizable, so it won't look like the template I've developed to give my apps a consistent look and feel, but it works.

Hi @BuffaloCoWI ,

After reviewing your app, I can confirm that it is a known issue and an enhancement was included in yesterday's update. Could you please test your app again?

Thanks,

Shengdi

That did seem to fix the problem. Many thanks!
