1 year ago Currently the search works by splitting terms by whitespace and searching on all of them. So in your screenshot above, its showing matches for 'hope' 'to' and 'grow' in all parts of the string. For example the 'After the Weekend' meeting is showing because 'to' is being found inside 'Hampton'.
I'll see if I can make it a bit more intuitive so it's not matching within sub-words.
Originally it was searching by the full text only, but that also eliminated matches when people weren't really sure of their exact meeting - so for example if they typed 'Maroubra Friday' it wouldn't match on 'Maroubra NIghtly...Friday'
Let me know if you have any other thoughts @tempsaint
When I search for a meeting by typing the name it's not finding the whole string.
Here's what I see when I start typing in the group name. I can see the existing meeting in the list (2nd one down):
But as I keep typing, here's what I see when I've typed in the complete:
I think this could be very confusing for end users as I know many people don't look at the list as their typing and just keep typing the full string they're searching for.
