Need help to modify typeahead search widget

[Ritanjali Pati]

Hi Experts,

I need a help regarding typeahead search widget. We can search by letters in typeahead search for all catalog items. But I am not able to search the same catalog items when I am searching by numbers. Please find the below screen shot.

Please reply if anyone could help on this.

Thanks & regards,

Ritanjali

Hi,

Yes, it's not just single numbers like that, but you also can't search for less than 3 characters I believe. So if I had a catalog item name: IT Helper 2.0 or something and I typed in just IT...it still wouldn't come up, even if I "double-dipped" and tried to place IT in metadata as well.

In the Data Source portion of the search source...unfortunately, I don't see anything about character count, it merely goes off of a "query" function already having brought in my search term using:

sn_sc.CatalogSearch().search(portalValue, '', query);

You may be able to try to alter that somehow to look for STARTS WITH or CONTAINS and see if that changes the results.

Please mark reply as Helpful/Correct, if applicable. Thanks!

Uh, ok, sure?

It'd be nice if you showed us what you did to say it doesn't work. Thanks!

If you check the typeahead widget, minimum character length required for search is 2.

You may be you have to clone and update the widget to get this working.
