Global search can not get the search result

[tommychen1228]

I used ConnectyCube.chat.search({search_text:keyword, limit:100})， but no result returned.
We have used 1 to 1 chat, can retrieve the dialogs and chat history.
So, whether if i used in a incorrect way？

Hi, @tommychen1228

Could you show logs with response - request. I have checked and I was able to get a result.

This is the dialogs response, we can see that it contains a message "Asdfasdf", and then we search keyword "Asdf", the request and response is below:

[Request][4] GET https://api.connectycube.com/chat/search.json {"data": {"limit": 100, "search_text": "Asdf"}, "type": "GET", "url": "https://api.connectycube.com/chat/search.json"}
[Response][4] {"dialogs": [], "messages": [], "users": []}

[DaveLomber]

@tommychen1228 so it searches for 'exact' match instead of 'contain', right?

[tommychen1228]

No, no matter whether I use the full text or part of the text to search, no results are returned. Such as:
[Request][6] GET https://api.connectycube.com/chat/search.json {"data": {"limit": 100, "search_text": "12345"}, "type": "GET", "url": "https://api.connectycube.com/chat/search.json"}
[Response][6] {"dialogs": [], "messages": [], "users": []}

[tommychen1228]

@DaveLomber Is the method I used incorrect?

[DaveLomber]

Hi @tommychen1228

We prepared a simple script which does the following:

• create session with user
• create dialog
• create message
• the searches

const ConnectyCube = require("connectycube");

const CREDENTIALS = {
  appId: 000,
  authKey: "...",
  authSecret: "...",
};

const USER_ONE = {
  id: 000,
  login: "...",
  password: "..."
}

const USER_TWO = {
  id:  000,
  login: "...",
  password: "..."
}


ConnectyCube.init(CREDENTIALS, { debug: { mode: 1 }});


ConnectyCube.createSession(USER_ONE)
  .then(session => {

    ConnectyCube.chat.dialog
      .create({type: 2, name: "super dialog", occupants_ids: [USER_TWO.id]})
      .then((dialog) => {

        ConnectyCube.chat.message
          .create({chat_dialog_id: dialog._id, message: "This is my message"})
          .then((message) => {

            const params = {
              // search_text: "dial",
              search_text: "mess",
            };
            ConnectyCube.chat
              .search(params)
              .then((result) => {})
              .catch((error) => {});

          })
          .catch((error) => {});


      })
      .catch((error) => {});

  }).catch((error) => {});

then run it via node index.js

According to our tests, it successfully returns dialogs if search by search_text: "dial" and messages if search by search_text: "mess"

Could you please try it at your end and let us know

[tommychen1228]

@DaveLomber thank you for your reply.As your code, it works well. But I think I found the key point, the dialog created in my app, the type is 3 (1-1 chat), in your code the type is 2. if I change the dialog type to 3 and search, it returned nothing.So, whether the dialog with type 3 does not support search?

[DaveLomber]

@tommychen1228 thanks for sharing more details

For 1-1 chat, we display other user's full_name/login as a chat dialog's name

You mean it does not search against other user's full_name/login ?

[tommychen1228]

@DaveLomber not only the 1-1 chat dialog's name, but also the messages in dialog, can‘t be searched. It seems like 1-1 chat is note supported search.
