ZQ Fuzzy Search & Autocomplete Current Geographic Position

Hi. The ZQ Fuzzy Search & Autocomplete plugin has a problem. When defining the Data Source and adding a new condition, the plugin does not work with the Current Geographic Position option or even pulling this dynamic data from an input. I did several tests and when I add the data manually, the plugin works.

In the above model does not work.

In the model above yes, this way it works.
But I need to work with dynamic data. Can you fix this?
Thank you very much in advance!

Hello, @luziraldovandeles
Thanks for reaching out.

First of all, please allow me to recommend you to check the documentation for the plugin here: https://docs.zeroqode.com/plugins/zq-fuzzy-search-and-autocomplete

So, the purpose of the plugin is not to search by dynamic data, but to search through any database or another source with existing information.

In order to provide you with a more detailed answer, I need to analyze the settings for all elements: repeating group, plugin element, and the input.
Moreover, the Repeating group Data Source = the database table on which you are doing your search. It means you should indicate the Do a search for database table name as a Data Source of your Repeating group

If you want it to display the results of your search inside your Repeating group, add these 2 conditions to it:

Please check these screenshots and provide us with the information about your current settings, so we will be able to analyze them.

Looking to hearing from you soon.
Best regards,

Hello Ecaterina. Forgive me for causing this mess. I’m not searching for dynamic data, but using a dynamic constraint to search for static data. I’ll send a new print to clarify a little more, and I’ll create an editor link and leave it here for your verification.

Hello, @luziraldovandeles
Thanks for the additional details.

First of all, please allow me to mention that you can’t use the “Text to match” and this checkbox at the same time. They are mutually exclusive and you can use or the text to match, or the input’s value:

Please find an example from our Demo Page:

Also, please note that the plugin works only with a text data type. So, the searching process cannot be successful with a geographical position, because the data type will be no text, but a geographical address.
This is the reason why this option is working on your side: Screenshot by Lightshot

The solution for this case is the next: you should create a new data field for the “Card” and include the address for each entry:

Unfortunately, this plugin isn’t able to use the dynamic constraint and not-text data types for the searching. In case you are willing to search the geographical addresses or positions, you need to use another plugin, which will use the map for the mentioned purposes. :pray:

In case any other plugin-related questions will appear, please let me know.
Best regards,
