Message search function does not work properly. #811

Closed Wangzx9908 closed 2 months ago

I can use db.messages.find({ text: <searching object> }) get the right answer in MongoDB But when I try to search this message on Vuesualizer, I am not able to get the right answe. I have tried some changing on server/api/messages/search.get.ts , but I failed.

I would like to know how to modify this search mechanism to achieve the effect of slack original searching function Thank you!

Have you tried clicking the checkbox in the search bar to search in all channels? By default it only searches in the channel you're currently seeing.

Wangzx9908 commented 2 months ago

yes, I did it. I think the existing algorithm mechanism cannot get the correct matching results, even if a message exists in the channel. I tried to echo the search results in server/api/messages/search.get.ts, but I couldn't get the expected results.

Are you searching in chinese maybe? Honestly I'm not sure how mongo handles languages that don't use the latin alphabet.

Maybe show me the full code that produces a search result (so search term and what you want to find) because I don't know how to investigate this without a specific example.

Hello, I think I found this reason, If the messages contain CJK it will not be searched, the message searching function is wrote in $text: { $search: query.toString() . and the mongodb search function is not support the CJK (Chinese Japanese Korean). And I try to switch the search function to regular expression matching, [{ text: { $regex: query.toString(), $options: 'i' } }] which can fix the searching CJK but will take more searching time.
