Dynamic searching

Archived from the Bravo community forum (2021–2026). Some answers may refer to older versions of Bravo.

Hi,

I want to create a search page which is dynamically shows results while writing. Similar to search bar on this site. Is it possible to achieve with Bravo? My backend is Xano.

Ow thank You Alejandro somehow I didn't saw this tag while browsing. I will try it out 👍

Little handy trick when you want to do something and don't find the tag, press "CMD + K" in the docs and type what you are searching for, chances are you will find your answer there✌️

Tag works, but I have some additional question. I want to have some placeholder content when the search bar is empty which disappear after the first character is written. I've created some boolean variables to control visibility, but I don't know how to make it sensitive to input change. Is that possible?

Hey , 
In Figma make sure you use the tag [component:input-text] for a Single-line text field then type your placeholder text in text body. (Just as you would in a form)

I'm talking about placeholder content outside the text input. So instead of having empty page before I search for something I want to have for example the most recent content or the most viewed one.

Search will filter already queried results or static results. So before you type you will see the full list and while you type you will start seeing the matching results

Pawel May 30, 2022

Yes, I'm aware of that, but I wanted some content unrelated with the searching query to appear whenever input is empty
