Non-fluid search #178

Closed dantehemerson closed 2 years ago

dantehemerson commented 5 years ago

When I write in the search input, it gets slow every time I type a word quickly.

jsrn commented 5 years ago

Maybe it would help to add a slight delay to the keypress event, so it only begins the search if the user pauses typing.

A few other suggestions regarding search

Disable the browser's autocomplete
Use a fuzzy search library like FuseJs

dantehemerson commented 5 years ago

@rithvikvibhu Yes, I think it's a better option

dantehemerson commented 5 years ago

@jsrn @rithvikvibhu Well, I'm working on it. Please add the pipeline.

jsrn commented 5 years ago

I'm not familiar with FuseJs. Could you please expand on the benefit? Does it resolve the speed issue?

rithvikvibhu commented 5 years ago

@jsrn http://fusejs.io/ is a very fast lightweight fuzzy search library. It can handle thousands of records and search (including slight variations) almost instantly. Their website has a very good demo of features.
