I’m facing the following dilemma: my users can recommend either:
users
brands (stored in a “Brands” collection)
The use case is to enable users to search for a user or a brand. Is it possible to do that from the same search bar? I haven’t found a way to search and display items that belong to the Users collection as well as the Brands collection in the same UX element.
If I have to ask users which type they want to search and then display the appropriate search bar and results list, then the usability isn’t the best
Many thanks! The video was very informative but it doesn’t seem to apply in my case
Unless I am mistaken, that tutorial enables to search multiple properties within the same Collection whereas I would need to search multiple collections .
Hmmm… good question. I’m not sure on that one. I will have to do some research. I am hoping that Adalo allows for searching this OR that, instead of this AND that. Maybe allowing us to choose between the two. That should be easy enough for them to do…?
the collections (users or brands) are displayed as lists
search bar (=input field) works in a way that the value from this input acts as a filter for the list
I think it is not possible to have one list containing multiple collections
Possible workaround: have 2 lists (users & brands), and use single input as filter. You will have 2 sections on the screen though.
And this will work like a filter (at first all results are displayed, and they are filtered out after search).
I’ve made a short illustrative video: Adalo experiments - filtering multiple lists - YouTube
