Hi there!
I'm currently trying to implement advanced search on Bravo. However running into trouble when the search input has an apostrophe.
E.g. Search input "Catherine's" - I can get a search result in Bravo Studio (screenshot) BUT this does not return any search results on the app preview on Bravo Vision.
Note - Typing any of the following in Bravo Vision gets me the result:
St Catherine
Catherine
Any solutions?
Thank you!
Tom

Have you tried adding search bar UI and it's bravo Tag instead of filter by formula. I am just guessing but I think if you want to display cities details, you can add a search bar and simple city/details lists.
What do you think of it
Hey , thanks for suggestion! I've tried it before, the problem seems to be that search bar UI doesn't search through the entire database but only what's on the screen if I'm not mistaken. I'm looking for a solution to search through the entire database.
correct, alright , btw you can also do a cheat by also adding what you want to search in your design and making it invisible, example adding location in my list in figma but making it invisible so that search bar could see it but user won't. But only do this if you are unable to resolve your issue.
I'll definitely remember that trick, thanks for the tip 😉. Unfortunately I'll have more than 8k rows of data I would like to search through, so that trick might not work in this instance 😟. Still looking for a solution if anyone has one!
Maybe something like regex_replace helps? Check out the formula field reference for more regex functions: https://support.airtable.com/docs/formula-field-reference#regex-functions
