How to Build Simple Search in Flutter App

In this video we will run you through how to hook up a simple search of Firestore Documents all within FlutterFlow.

In this video we will utilize some of the following features:
1. Local Storage to hold a boolean value.
2. Simple Search to find a city in my collection.
3. Auto Complete in the search bar.
4. Implement a "clear" icon to reset the textfield an search results.

This is one of many ways to build search and provide a wonderful experience for your end users.

Jesus H Christ. Why doesn't flutterflow just have a filter option on the list query so you can specify that from a field in the app? I have never seen such a convuluted implementation of a search in all my life. And they have the brass neck to call it 'simple' search!

Love the way you teach, Andrew. We need more instructional videos like this. I, too, work from the Widget Tree and it's so much easier to follow along with what you're doing.

A link to the entire project would be helpful, and more tutorials like this will help the FlutterFlow community. Thx

I can't believe that people are happy with all these steps
This is the most difficult without programming code I have seen in my life
If I write code, it will be much easier

This is the best free software Ive seen. Respect.

[PersonalSported]

It was very helpful and great explanation Andrew you have my thanks.

Great tutorial, but I noticed that the search is using case sensitive and "Start/Begin with" condition, can we expect soon that the search will be "Contain" and not case sensitive?

I appreciate your effort. However...
The material can't be followed mechanically since the layout has changed, some options are not there anymore. It needs to be understood. But it can't be understood either, because you fluctuate between lagging around and moving too fast / explaining too little. How am I supposed to understand when you swtich from here to there using shortcuts, you click things / set options which you don't explain what they do...

Hi does this work with external API? Or is there a different method for that?

When he types Riga at the end, it shows 3 cities, not just Riga.. is this bc simple search is like a fuzzy search? is this a feature or a bug? Thanks!

What happens when you have 1000+ documents in the database? Would you still use this or go Algolia?

[stryfegamingonline]

Does this not use Algolia? Theres another guide from you guys that uses Algolia and some other stuff. What's the difference between the two?

[EMERSONSA]

Andrew... Perfect! Very grateful from Brazil.

[RanonPlay]

Is this search method suitable for large collections?
For example I am currently building an app with a food search feature, and well thare are a ton off foods out there, so will that method you showed work or will it be very slow?

[AnisBOULAID]

Why duplicating the listview!! is there a way the reload the same list with the result?

Hi! I have a question about web publishing. Is the web scalable when much users use the app? I see that flutterflow supports the hosting for the web, is any problem in the usability of the app?
