So here is the thing, building search features in Bubble apps is hard. There is a bunch of ‘fuzzy search’ and ‘search & autocomplete’ plugins, but in my experience, they are all either slow, expensive, or unreliable.
The main reason for this is that these search plugins live in the front-end of your application, which means they run locally on your laptop or phone. Therefore they need to 1) download a ton of data and then 2) use your limited local computing power and memory to do all the searching.
So, let’s build our own super-fast search function that can search data directly in Bubble’s database without downloading it first.
