Hi Everyone (again)! 
Wondering if anyone can help me get a simple search to work. I am attempting to create a simple search solution for an apps collection in my database. It just doesn’t seem to filter at all, and will only display “all” results. If I attempt to type anything in the search box, it doesn’t “search” on keyup, and won’t do anything until I actually hit “return.” At that point it simply states “Loading…” until I delete all characters in the search box, then all the results show up again.
Client side template and code:
<template name="search">
<div class="page-header clearfix">
<h4 class="pull-left">Apps</h4>
<div class="pull-right">
<input type="text" id="search" class="form-control" width="250px" placeholder="Find an app...">
</div>
</div>
<ul class="list-group">
{{#if searching}}
<p>Loading...</p>
{{else}}
{{#each apps}}
<li class="list-group-item clearfix">
<span class="pull-left"><strong>{{name}}</strong></span>
<span class="pull-right">{{subject}} | age: {{age}} | standard: {{standard}}</span>
</li>
{{else}}
<p class="alert alert-warning">Nothing found for {{query}}. Sorry, bub.</p>
{{/each}}
{{/if}}
</ul>
</template>
Template.search.onCreated( () => {
let template = Template.instance();
template.searchQuery = new ReactiveVar();
template.searching = new ReactiveVar( false );
template.autorun( () => {
template.subscribe( 'searchApps', template.searchQuery.get(), () => {
setTimeout( () => {
template.searching.set( false );
}, 300 );
});
});
});
Template.search.helpers({
searching: ()=> {
return Template.instance().searching.get();
},
query: ()=> {
return Template.instance().searchQuery.get();
},
apps: ()=> {
let apps = Apps.find();
if ( apps ) {
return apps;
}
}
});
Template.search.events({
'keyup #search': function( event, template ) {
let value = event.target.value.trim();
if ( value !== '' && event.keyCode === 13 ) {
template.searchQuery.set( value );
template.searching.set( true );
}
if ( value === '' ) {
template.searchQuery.set( value );
}
}
});
And here is my server publication:
Apps = new Mongo.Collection('apps');
if ( Meteor.isServer ) {
Apps._ensureIndex( { name: 1, age: 1, subject: 1, standard: 1 } );
}
Meteor.publish( 'searchApps', function( search ) {
check( search, Match.OneOf( String, null, undefined ) );
let query = {},
projection = { limit: 10, sort: { name: 1 } };
if ( search ) {
let regex = new RegExp( search, 'i' );
query = {
$or: [
{ name: regex },
{ subject: regex },
{ age: regex },
{ standard: regex }
]
};
projection.limit = 100;
};
return Apps.find( query, projection );
});
Any help in the right direction would be wonderful, if anyone is able to take a look!
Thanks again.
