Global Search Function

I’m pretty new to the database world, so I’m not sure if this is possible. In my app I want to implement a global search functionality, meaning it should function like a Google search bar. I want to be able to search different types and tables in the Bubble database all with one keyword search.

Is that possible and if so, how?

Thanks for any help!

Hello @dan5,
Thanks for reaching out.

We have a plugin that can help you search for fields under a single data type and you can do a search via 5 text fields at once - https://zeroqode.com/plugin/zq-fuzzy-search--autocomplete-plugin-for-bubble--1553511659347x392791628733743100. For example:

As for the multi-data tables, I’m afraid we don’t have a solution for that but it’s possible. Here are some links that might help you:

Besides, not sure if Algolia Plugin can be a good alternative for your case since it is used to do a search within the Algolia database (not the Bubble). However, please take a look here: Algolia Search V2.0 Plugin for Bubble | Plugin for Bubble by Zeroqode

Hope this helps!

Best regards,
