Enhance text search when searching terms/words in Basic Instant App

[RexTurgano]

We are just about to promote our Basic Instant App and noticed during user testing the search field only auto suggests the first term/word of the data source. It would be nice if the search also auto suggested terms or words that are in the middle or end of the field as well. For example, if I type in "Griffin" in the search field, it won't auto suggest "Mount Griffin Park".

Hi @RexTurgano 

Thanks for reaching out about the Basic template. Do you by chance know if you have "Exact match" enabled in the settings for the search source you are using? That could be why the example you mentioned above isn't working as expected. The exact match setting indicates to only return results that match the search value exactly, which could include the order of values/phrases in a result. 

Thanks!

Thanks Sarah, I can confirm the "Exact match" is NOT enabled and it didn't work. I also tried turning off and off "Enable suggestions" but that as expected did not help either. Oh hang, on it could be the "Enable suggestions" that could be tweaked?

I also noticed that the "Don't show this again" function does not work anymore on the Introduction window". It keeps displaying on all browsers and mobile devices.

Hi @RexTurgano 

Thanks for trying the "exact match" setting. The behavior could be related to the "Enable suggestions" setting did you try toggling that on?

For the introduction window, I was able to reproduce that behavior and I reported the issue. 

Thanks!

Thanks Sarah, yes, I toggled the "Enable suggestions" setting and that had no effect. It is definitely the "Enable suggestions" setting that needs further enhancement. Thanks!
