Description
I wanted to report this longer ago, but I kept forgetting.
I have a test Experience named like so:
data_store_test_1
I type in “data”
No Results.
It looks like the searching feature in “My Games” only matches words and not chained characters.
A word in this case would be a string until its end or separation with something like a SPACE character
It is not working like pure string.find would, or maybe something else is ruining it, but the point is that If I look for “Word” and I have an experience named “WordForWord”, aslong it’s not named “Word ForWord” (see now there’s 2 “words” “Word” and “ForWord”), I don’t think it will make it show as a search result.
Please note I put a non-breaking space in my above phrase so that it shows it all in one line on the forum… Nevermind it didn’t work so…
Re-production Steps
To have it in sync with my case, you can name the test experience data_store_test_1 as well.
-
Create an Experience or simulation of mock data, and make sure that it is a full connected “string”, like “abcdefg” or “abc_123” and try to search for it. As example:
data_test -
In the search bar at the top right, type in “data”
- Observe
Expected Result
The experience is named data_store_test_1 and I typed in data. I expected it to use something like string.find and show me a search result, since I have an experience that does contain the word data.
Actual Result
No results. It seems to have issues if a word that you typed into the search bar is connected with strings e.g. “data_test” it’s a string without space, so it’s taken as a full word.
