Search not 100% accurate?

[shotrox]

Hi
I love this plugin, it is just what I was looking for. Can you explain why it finds stuff that is not there though?

On http://www.actrox.com/search-actors/ when you start typing in the search input it works well when you for example type 'b' - it only finds Brad Pitt - but when you type 'g' it "finds" everyone... How come? What areas are searched?

Thanks

Alexander

Hi!

Awesome that you like List.js!

I'm currently at vacation without a computer so I'll take a look at your problem when I'm back home next week!

So cool how fast you reacted! Thank you and enjoy your vacation ­ no rush.

Yeah ­ I am totally in love with it. A beauty of code! So smooth and light
weightŠ I wonder how it will manage thousands of actors once we have a lot
of themŠ

I just married it with tooltipster.js ­ another cool piece of code. Let me
know what you think so far (design is still drafty and nothing works on the
site apart of the search)

I am using List.js with 15 000 and it loads in less than 2 seconds :) (in that case it is better to load the data as json with ajax request)
About your question - the problem is that you are searching in all the data. It's better to give it the data as json and search just by the name of the actor. Then you will get the result you expect.

Hehe, I looked at the code and it took me some time to figure this one out. But here is the problem:

<div style="display:none" class="age">48<span class="category">male</span></div>

The category is inside age which means that you can search for ex category and find everyone :)

This is the way you should do it.

<div style="display:none"><span class="age">48</span><span class="category">male</span></div>

[shotrox]

That makes sense ­ although the search for age and male/female works
flawlessŠ

The issue is that when you start typing search terms in the search bar it
sometimes needs 2 or 3 characters to filter out certain actors although none
of the letters are in their namesŠ

It is not a big deal because people don't really figure that out, especially
not when we have hundreds of actors in there

I was just curious why that happens. Maybe other words or code is also
searched and matched against that search term?
