User search just found results with display name
Searched for a user called "Pendulum Pala" with username "pendulumpala". Typing: Pendulum -> found pendulum -> not found pendulumpala -> not found pendulum pala -> not found pendulum Pala -> not found Pendulum Pala -> found Pala -> found pala -> not found
I'm gonna try to improve that search and then I come back here.
Yeah the searching is not ideal. In order to do full text search we would need to implement Algolia search which when I looked into it was on a separate pricing plan than firebase, and I wanted to keep project running for free.
If there's another alternative though I'd be interested in exploring it.
Isnt it possible to get the text input and make variations of it? Something like, if I type: gustavo contreiras Create new strings with variations: Gustavo, GUSTAVO, gustavo, Contreiras, CONTREIRAS, Gustavo Contreiras, gustavocontreiras, .... Then make one search for each generated word and return everything
